·         MCH Reception in the Presidential Suite :  Debbie Klein-Walker, president of APHA and former chair of the MCH Section, has graciously offered the Section the use of her Presidential Suite for a reception during the Annual Meeting.  This event will be held on Sunday, Nov. 4 from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m.   We do not yet know where the Presidential Suite will be, but we will be announcing the location of the reception during MCH Section meetings scheduled for earlier on Sunday.

·         MCH Booth in the Exhibit Hall:  Make sure you stop by the MCH Booth in the Exhibit Hall to see our display.  Better yet, help us publicize the Section by volunteering to sit at the booth, and contribute to our efforts to help upgrade the booth -- we have already collected close to $1,000 for this effort.  For more information, contact Chair-Elect JoAnne Fischer at JFischer@momobile.org.  

·         Scientific Sessions:  The MCH Section has a great program of scientific sessions lined up.  For the full list, go to the APHA Annual Meeting Web site at: http://apha.confex.com/apha/135am/techprogram/program_765.htm.

·         Business Meetings and Social Events:  This is the place to really get involved in the Section, including the exciting New Agenda activities on Sunday afternoon.  The committees are where the Scientific Sessions for the next year are planned, so pick one (or more) in your area of interest and get involved!  For a full list, see the APHA Annual Meeting Web site at:  http://apha.confex.com/apha/135am/techprogram/nt_765.html
