Etiquette Dinner

All, here's an invitation from Carmen Wah, former NAAAP board member, for an etiquette dinner hosted by UC Etiquette professor LisaMarie Luccioni... Looks like a great event, cost is only $5 or a potluck dish. See you all there!

Hi, NAAAP board!

It's been awhile, but I hope ya'll remember me! :P

I wanted to extend this invitation to NAAAP Cincy (member/non-members). SSHP said we could bring friends, significant others, and I was like, I need to tell NAAAP! One of the professional pharmacy organizations UC SSHP (Student Society of Health-System Pharmacists) at school is featuring an etiquette dinner by UC etiqutte expert and professor Ms. LisaMarie Luccioni. She's spoken at many corporate events (P&G!!), written books, etc. NAAAP had previously tried to hire her, but due to the expensive costs, we couldn't make it happen.

Date: Friday, February 22, 2013
Time: 4:30 - 6:30 pm
Location: McMicken Hall, Room 27

Since SSHP is sponsoring Ms. Luccioni, all attendees will be required to bring a potluck dish or $5 admission. Money must be turned in to me by February 18th to get the $5 rate. After that date, it will be $10 at the door.

If you are interested, please contact Carmen Wah at wahcc@mail.uc.edu. Since this is on-campus event, if several NAAAP people are interested, we can walk to main campus/ carpool together. I'll send out more information once people are confirmed.

This is a really great opportunity! Yes, it's on a Friday during the afternoon, and I know there are people who work, but in case you're that person who has half-day Fridays, happened to get out early, or Fridays off...come!

Paint the Town!

June 11th, 2011 - Give Back Cincinnati’s tenth annual Paint the Town event—and NAAAP’s fourth—in Dayton, KY, started off with inclement weather, but the rain didn’t hold anyone back for long.  By early midday the skies cleared up, and NAAAP got to work scraping, buffing, and painting, working with volunteers from the membership ranks, and others who joined in at the last minute! Mike Liska, homeowner of the house in Bellevue, KY cooked up a delicious pot of Sloppy Joes as thanks, in addition to the Chick-Fil-A sponsored lunch.

At the afterparty held at the lawn of Dayton High School in Kentucky, many of our members had the chance to network with each other and with the other PTT participants, from volunteers at GBC to employees ranging from Procter & Gamble, US Bank, Duke Energy, Gold Star Chili and more. Even with the paint and grime from the day’s work still stuck to our clothes, we enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you to our wonderful members for participating or donating to the cause! It’s empowering and encouraging to see people taking an active role in moving the city forward, and beautifying the scenery, one house at a time.
