The Anesthesia Memorial Foundation provides a channel to establish a tangible and lasting expression of affection and respect to departed colleagues. American anesthesiologists would do well to lend support to this worthy cause by making contributions, which are tax deductible, and by pointing out the Foundation's objectives to friends and industry.
The American Nurses Association,
composed of professional nurses dedicated to the promotion of health and the care of the sick, has served as the forum in which the nation's critical health issues have been discussed throughout the last century.
Functioning as a democracy, the ANA provided the structure in which views were expressed, ideas were debated and evaluated, and positions and goals were formulated. Because it represented the views of administrators, clinical practitioners in institutions and community agencies, educators, and researchers, it has served for 100 years as the public voice for the diversity of America's professional nurses.

This year we focused on the arithmetic that will be used in all the math we do, for the rest of our lives. It's so important to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, because it helps prepare us for anything. Just think about it. If you have a pizza recipe for 1 small pizza and you need 4 large pizzas, addition and multiplication can help you buy the right stuff, mix it correctly, cook it just right and even split the bill with your brother. After all it's his friends you're cooking for! So, we've put together a pretty good flashcard program that can help you memorize your times tables. We are ready to answer your questions and try to give you a place to learn more about arithmetic.
