BUDDY NEWS The Buddies want to express their sincerest thanks to the NOVA Nurse Managed Clinic for all their presentations. We wish them lots of luck in their nursing careers and feel blessed to have met and learned from them. They are leaving us with many happy memories of their dedication and kindness. The Buddies and the nursing students shared a Heart Healthy Valentine's Day party with lots of healthy foods and good fellowship. Buddy David wishes to thank everyone for making him feel so welcome. We thank you David for being such a great friend and Buddy! You have added so much to our club.
WHAT THE BUDDY CLUB MEANS TO ME The Buddy Club is so much fun. I love the computer and swimming. The newest activity I learned was the Wii! I love to see new members and love laughing with my friends I already know. I am so thankful for the Buddy Club because it is so much fun! Yvonne Buddy of the Month
