I am very pleased with the turnout for the first Tobacco-Free
Day. It was great to see the community, LPC faculty and staff,
students, smokers and nonsmokers all working together. The energy
was high, very positive and overall it was a wonderful event.
I would like to thank everyone for their support especially:

Josie Zills, Sheria Hartman, Kate Finnigan, Eva Lane and Karen
Kit
Fredda Cassidy-for coordinating the T-shirt design contest and
winners Rachel Stanton, Paula Sieron and Linda Axford
Sophie Reinheimer, who did a great job of leading the kick off
walk around campus.

Sincerely,
Kim Kerrigan, Student Health Center Director.
