Attention all Members of the Barbara Smith Laryngectomee Club!
I have been approached by an officer of our group to disband the organization because of poor meeting attendance therefore, it is imperative that all interested members attend our meeting scheduled for the twenty first of November in order to make your comments known and help us with this decision.
It is sad to hear such comments however, the attendance by the membership has diminished and possibly warrants the dispersing of our organization.
During the past three months we have been notified of 78 new Laryngectomees nationwide however we only had two locally. We also lost 20 nationally during the same period and one locally.
I have Heard from Andy Lees regarding the new problems with the insurance reimbursement for TEP replacements in the event the Lary attempts to make his purchase directly from a supplier since the purchases after Jan 1, 2011 will only be covered if purchased from a service provider. Andy make within his comments that TEP users solution is maintain a spare on hand.
If in the event this club is dissolved I will continue to post periodic information of interest for Laryngectomees on the BSLC blog. I realize that some of our members do not have computers and I ask for those that do to print out a copy of the future postings for your computer less friends.
