Eleven delegates attended the Region No. 2 meeting in St. Marys on April 28. Bill Brady of CFPL Broadcasting Limited, London, spoke on Transplant Inter- national. The recovery rate after transplantsis 75 per cent. However 50 per cent of people needing transplants cannot find organs in time to save their lives. Attitudes of people are changing, and more and more are signing donor cards, • with about 1,200 new cards signed last year. Unfortunately not all hospitals have a policy in place whereby transplants can be immediately utilized. Corneas are needed from every age group; kidneys from people up to age 55; hearts from people up to age 35; and livers from people up to age 30. Each auxiliary was asked to bring a floral arrangement as sold in their respective hospital gift shops. Excellent ideas were shared by those attending.
