NAMI Southwestern Illinois

We had a good board meeting during January, discussing at length how we are going to raise funds this year... a walk/run this summer, murder/mystery dinner, trivia night, fun bowl and street corner collecting. Something for everyone, so pick your event to help out and call Mark at the NAMI SWI Office at 618-978-9788 or email him at mrudolph@namiswi.org to sign-up.

Our newest member, Peter Dodge, made an interesting proposal on starting up an out-reach program for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) for veterans and their families living near Scott Air Force base. If you or a loved one is interested in helping Peter with this program, please call Mark Rudolph at the NAMI SWI Office at 618-798-9788.

Thanks to the Madison County 708 Board for approving our program funding request. Next year we plan to ask the 708 Board to be approved as a fully-funded agency.

All members are invited to the next board meeting on Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Meeting time is 7:00PM to 8:30PM and is held in the Paschal Hall located on the Ground Floor in Gateway Regional Medical Center.
