The navel sub-marine base in New London announced that in 1960 a smoking ban on a sub lasted just three days. The Navy has yet to find a solution to be able to end the smoking on all subs.
The Former President of the Middlesex community college, Wilfredo Nieves, has taken the position of President of the Hartford Capitol Community College where Mr. Louis Tromboni and I do the nurses lectures on post laryngectomee care.
Fox News announced that a mid- western town has issued a no smoking edict to its work force or be fired.
Also in Conn. The Elks and the Moose clubs have issued a ban on smoking whether that will become a successful reality remains to be seen.
The State of Connecticut has passed a Senate bill that prohibits smoking within business' facilities with five or more employees. Editorial have been appearing in many of our state's newspapers supporting this new approach citing the second hand smoke issues.
I have been in contact with Mrs. Nadeau of the Head & Neck Cancer group in Manchester, Ct. and she has assured me that its membership are planning to attend our meeting this month.
The BSLC Meeting Agenda:
1 The Treasurer’s financial report.
. Acceptance of the Treasurer’s current financial report.
.
2 Nominations committee:
A. To present its recommendations.

4 Items to be added to the agenda may be added by any member.
5. Guest Speakers will be allowed to make their presentations prior to the business portion of our meeting.
Should any member of this club become aware of a new laryngectomee please contact any one of the club’s officers after obtaining the patient’s permission so we can supply the “headlines article” that will guide the patient and his or her family members on how to obtain necessary supplies.
I hope we will see you all at the May 16th. meeting.
