The Health Information Technology Club will be collecting new or used but in good, clean condition onesies and receiving blankets throughout the month of May. We will be staffing a table in the brick lounge, near Java's on Tuesday May 1st and Wednesday May 2nd between 11:00 and 1:00 to receive hard goods or monetary donations. They can also be dropped off in room 8-432 or 8-434, or if you would like your donations to be picked up from your office, please telephone Sarah Lamb at (585) 410-0244.
The Health Information Technology Club is supporting Operation Onesie, sponsored by the 2020 Micro clinic Initiative, a non-profit organization with a mission to promote safe child birth in rural settings. Operation Onesie is an incentive to mothers in rural Kenya who elect to participate in a 2020 childbirth surveillance program and give birth under supervision of a skilled attendant. Each mother who participates will receive a washbasin, one bar of soap, a receiving blanket and ten onesies. For those unfamiliar, onesies are a one piece garment worn by newborns, infants and older young children as well.
Thank you for your support.
