Contest entrants who do not pick up their books on June 4 will receive their copies in the mail. Anyone interested in buying a copy after June 4 should call Grey Brown at 286-3361. Us A Poem contests and poetry chapbooks are sponsored by the Cultural Services Program of Duke University Medical Center. Cultural Services gratefully acknowledges the support of the J. Scott Byrd Endowment and our donors. Employees are often too busy to spend much extra time with patients on the job.
Volunteers have the time to be with patients and families, listening and sharing experiences.
While most volunteers contribute an average of three to four hours a week during regular work hours, evening and weekend volunteer opportunities can be arranged. For more information, call Robinson or Margi Hancock at 681-5031. In early June the House Ways and Means and Commerce committees and the Senate Finance Committee will craft legislation to meet the spending and revenue targets established in a Congressional budget resolution. Congress will also determine the amount of discretionary money each subcommittee will have to fund the programs under its jurisdiction. The friendly ambassadors who provide valet parking outside Duke Clinic will soon bring their smiles and services to Duke Hospital.
