Chinese American Heart Association (CnAHA) and Academy of Cardiovascular Research Excellence (ACRE) Newsletter #2010-01
Dear members, colleagues, and friends,
Hope this message finds you all well. If you are on the East Coast, wish you safe and warm to weather through the blizzard of the century.
As the first Newsletter of 2010, although we are very happy and proud of what we have done in 2009, it is more meaningful to look forward to what we are heading for the new year and the new decade.
Membership and fund raising are on the top of our agenda. We thank you for all your effort to tell your colleagues and friends about who we are and what we do. We have also start to pursue ways to raise funding to support our activities and initiatives. These will be important initiatives for us for this year.
