MaSH MEMBERS ATTENDED NSH ANNUAL MEETING IN DENVER

MaSH Members attend the NSH Meeting in Denver. What a surprise to arrive in Denver and find our Boston Red Sox looking for their 2nd World Series win in just 4 years. Denver was over run with Boston fans attending the Series. It wasn't hard to find a fellow fan from the Boston area, in fact many of us went to the Pour House Pub in Denver to watch the Red Sox sweep the Rockies. The Pour House is owned by 2 fellow Bostonians. "Congratulations Red Sox!"  View Picture Show on Right

MaSH WAS READY, WILLING & ABLE!

MaSH has hosted the Annual 2007 Region I Meeting on Friday March 9 and Saturday March 10, 2007 at the Devens Common Center, located in Devens, Massachusetts (formerly Fort Devens). 

The educational programs offered a wide variety of subjects; all credited CEU's approved by NSH.
In addition, we offered a full day of workshops on Saturday called the "HT Exam Readiness" Workshops. We hope we have assisted those of you and your colleagues working to successfully to complete your HT Certification exam. 

We would like to thank the many vendors for their continued support. Without them, these events could not be possible.
Many of our vendors showed off their new histology equipment and supplies. (We hope you enjoyed looking at the many Exhibits!)

It is our hope that this meeting was as much fun for you, as it was for us.
A special  thanks to Paula Whitaker & Andrew Calderone.

IN REMEMBRANCE
The members of MaSH extend their sympathies to the family and friends of Norma King, who passed away on October 22, 2006.  Norma was a founding member of both MaSH and the NSH and spent 40 years as a histologist.  She served on the MaSH Board of Directors over many years and in many capacities, including President, Vice President, Secretary, Newsletter Editor and Scientific Chairperson, and she was elected first Region I director.  Norma felt strongly about providing education for histologists and worked hard to this end.  She was even able to attend the MaSH meeting held at Fenway Park in 2005.  Norma leaves behind a cadre of colleagues who she helped increase their knowledge of histology.  We will all miss Norma.  However, she will be remembered always by MaSH.
The MaSH Board of Directors have approved an Annual Award the first of which was given in her honor at the Region I Meeting this March.

The MaSH site was created by Linda Rogers for the members of the Massachusetts Society for Histotechnology and for the purpose of sharing information within the Histological Community. It is the purpose of this site to inform the members, interested parties and the general public as to the educational, informational and services provided to and by the Histotechnology Community.
