Thank you to all of you for attending the 52nd Annual Meeting at Clovernook Country Club. It was an exciting night as we presented the check to the hospital for $660,000. It is such a privilege to be part of such a great organization that gives endless hours raising money to support the Division of Critical Care Medicine and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. You are the Best!!

A very special thank you to Dr. Matthew Zackoff for volunteering to speak at this year’s Annual Meeting. We value his dedication to the PICU as well as his innovations to prepare staff members for treating the patients in the new critical care building.

A warm and special “thank you!” to Christine Coulter and the staff of Clovernook Country Club for all their special attention to detail to provide such a wonderful atmosphere for our event. The staff truly made my job easier to prepare for the evening.

It goes without saying that we want to thank Keith Henize and Kelly Bollinger for their support and assistance with the many details and preparations needed for the evening. It is so greatly appreciated.

Last but definitely not least, I would like to thank Cindy Burger for her dedication to Kindervelt over the past year as President. I saw first-hand how she devoted endless hours to running the BOT and Leadership meeting, attending group meetings, attending all of the events while keeping a positive attitude and smile through it all. We are lucky to have her for another year!
