Noteworthy news and newsmakers:
Jennifer Carman Keenan '96 owns Darshan Healings, where she facilitates healing sessions, teaches workshops and classes. She also enjoys being assistant manager at Creacon Prema Agni Retreat Centre in Wexford, Ireland.
Mary Wright '99 and Katie Zielinski '99 have created the Friends of Frankie Chemo Cuddle Cap project in memory of Frankie Zatika '99 who recently died of cancer. They collect knitted, crocheted, sewn, etc., caps to be distributed to cancer patients. They will soon be branching out to shawls, lap blankets and perhaps even knitted breasts for breast cancer survivors! With help from other classmates, they will soon be receiving help from larger companies as well. What they need from the IHS community is yarn, money and crafters. Their current website is myspace.com/friendsoffrankie. You don't need a myspace page to view it and they soon hope to upgrade to a real website, but that is what they have for now. For more information you can email them at cuddlecap01@hotmail.com.
