Upcoming Meetings Dates - Guest Speaker with Topic:

A note from the webmaster (Mark) - If you are viewing this page for the first time, you are more than likely just like me and all the other members that attend the Mended Heart monthly meetings, a heart patient survivor or a caregiver. The typical monthly meetings are not like most meetings I attend. The meetings at Mended Hearts start with about 15 minutes of just standing around and talking, getting to know each other, and exchanging stories. The meeting starts with a couple of minutes of thing happening in and around Mended Hearts. Then the introduction of the guest speaker (and we have some great guest speakers). When the speaker has finished there presentation, it's time for a small snack and a little more talking. All in all it takes about 1 hour. Then we all go home and look forward to the next meeting.

If you are interested in attending a meeting, please feel free to just show-up. You do not have to be a member to attend a meeting or two and we would love to have you attend.
