We are looking at spring time already. I know a lot of us are still getting a few snow flurries but winter is almost gone. I hope everyone is ready for a good spring and have vacation plans in place for the summer. That is if gas prices will allow us to travel!

I am proud to announce that the Virginia State Registry will be hosting meetings for our various area. The dates and places will be posted on our web site. For SW VA the meeting will be March 28th, 2008 from 8:30-3:30 at Lewis Gale Hospital. When attending the meetings you will receive 5 CEU. Our web site has grown and I think and give many thanks to Michael Peyton. He has done just a fabulous job at making it an informative site.

Tina Gillespie will be going to the National Meeting for me this year due to I have a survey. I personally think all surveys should not be allowed the week of the National meetings but that is just one opinion. I hope a lot of you have made plans to go. It sounds as if it is going to be an eventful meeting and am sorry I will miss it.

If any of you have job postings, news or anything else, please email me so we can get this on the web site. If you have posted a job and it has been filled please let me know. Educational material will be available on our web site for up coming meetings as well as past meeting. For the new meetings, as they are posted and/or presented, information will be posted on the web site.

Once again thank each and everyone of you for the support you have given me over the last several months and know I am just a phone call or email away.

Sincerely,
Cynthia B. Smith CTR
President Virginia Cancer Registrars Association
