GINI has
changed its name. The Gazette International Networking Institute (GINI)
in now Post-Polio Health International. The address remains the same
- 4207 Lindell Boulevard, #110, St Louis, MO. 63108 and website
remains
www.post-polio.org. In making the name change, the organization
stated that it changed its name to reflect a more focused scope of
services and broader constituency. It wishes to project the broadest
meaning of "health", encompassing the physical, emotional, social,
psychological, and spiritual aspects of individuals' lives. The new
name also reaffirms an ongoing interest in international issues.
While the majority of the people it serves are polio survivors,
Post-Polio Health International will continue to respond to the
needs of all ventilator users through its affiliate, International
Ventilator Users Network.
In Memoriam...
We are saddened to report the passing of Mabel Rounds, formerly of
East Baldwin. Mabel and her husband Norman, who predeceased her,
were frequent attendees of the Greater Portland Post Polio Support
Group and were among the original members. She was a career
educator, teaching in Maryland and then in the Westbrook and East
Baldwin school systems. Mabel will be missed.
