33 Lury Kutruff, RN, manager at Community East Hospital, which hosted the Indiana Chapter meeting. Greetings from the Emerald Coast Chapter, located in beautiful northwest Florida! The Emerald Coast Chapter has been very busy in the past few months. In August, Mark Zakutney from Abbott hosted our dinner CEU event. Valerie Funches RN was our guest speaker, presenting on arteriotomy closure, manual versus device. St. Jude hosted a product fair in early September with all the labs in Pensacola invited to review the new devices in each of their medical lines. Later in September, we had our monthly meeting, hosted by St. Jude. The topic was a CRM review by Russ Fuller. We appreciate all of the support from vendors over the past three years. Nominations are now being entertained for new officers for 2008! Congratulations to Valerie Fuenches, who recently passed her RCIS exam. Valerie sends thanks to the Emerald Coast Chapter members, the SICP members, and the RCIS review course instructors, directors and the vendor sponsors.
