In-Person Summer Kick Off Meeting | Tuesday, June 24 | 6 to 8 pm
Location | Calvary Lutheran Church, 23 South Prospect St. Verona, NJ
Join us for an evening of friendship and learning at our Ostomy Support Group Summer Kick-Off Meeting. We are thrilled to welcome Jeanine Gleba, Advocacy Manager for the United Ostomy Associations of America, as our featured guest speaker.

Jeanine and her committee have provided the ostomy community with advocacy tools designed to help each and every one of us advocate for ourselves and our loved ones. As an expert in grassroots advocacy, Jeanine was the catalyst behind the successful passage of a New Jersey law named for her daughter Grace, which benefits thousands of NJ children with hearing loss.

A light dinner and refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to Stacy by June 20th. Stacy.krakower@rwjbh.org or 973-322-5480
