UPCOMING COLUMBUS EVENTS:

The next meeting of the Franklinton Health, Safety and Crime Prevention Campaign will take place on Thursday, July 20th at 6:00pm at the Dodge Recreation Center.  This special meeting will cover a very critical component of the survey we originally presented to you in November. 

Franklinton has the lowest bystander CPR rate in the City, and we want to change that.  You may remember that at one of our earlier meetings, Lynn White, from the OSU Medical Center gave a short demonstration of the "CPR Anytime" kit.  OSU Medical Center applied for, and received a grant to conduct intensive CPR training in Franklinton.  On July 20th, we are all going to have a chance to change the statistics.  Please bring a friend, a family member or both and join us for this lifesaving training opportunity.  Do you have 22 minutes to learn how to save a life??

Please RSVP by email or by phone at 645-8573.  Also, please print the attached flier and post it wherever you can.  We look forward to seeing you on July 20th.

The Multiethnic Advocates for Cultural Competence (MACC) will hold its Annual Conference on September 8, 2006 at the King Arts Complex in Columbus, Ohio. We are seeking presenters for our workshops, symposia, paper presentations and roundtable sessions. We are particularly interested in promising practices and innovations in behavioral health for People of Color, Deaf/Hard of Hearing, GLBT, Appalachian and other cultural groups. 

Workshops are sessions in which a single presenter provides an interactive learning or training curricula on a particular topic. The format will consist of an introduction by the moderator followed by the presenter/trainer. The presentation will last either 45 or 75 minutes (1.15 hours) with 15 minutes allotted for audience questions.

Symposia are sessions in which a group of presenters share their views about a common topic. The format will consist of an introduction to the topic by the program chair that provides a background for the discussion. The presenters will then outline their viewpoints. This is followed by an interchange amongst the presenters and between the presenters and the audience. The symposia will end with an overview of the proceedings by the chairperson or a discussant. Each symposium will be 90 minutes in length.

Paper Presentations are oral presentations focused on a particular topic. Papers will be allotted 30-35 minutes for the presentation and 10-15 minutes for a question and answer period, for a total of 45 minutes per paper.

Roundtable Discussions provide an opportunity for informal discussion and exchange of ideas between the audience and the presenters on a particular topic. Roundtable discussions will be 45 minutes in length.
