Results Are In For

Chapter Achievement Program

 

In 2010 we rolled out a survey called the Chapter Achievement Program to demonstrate beneficial programs and activities, encourage our BHS chapters to participate, and allow them to be rewarded for great participation. 333 Chapters participated and the scores are now tallied. See the results!

 Trans Harmony Bears

Let's Help the Children 

 

It's never fun being in a hospital, and for children, it's even more frightening! So, while we're in Kansas City, we're going to help the children "bear" up by donating "Harmony Bears" toChildren's Mercy Hospital and Clinics. Stuffed toys help children feel more at home while in the hospital, and these "Bear-bershop" donations are a great way to show we care about kids. At Kansas City, see the Harmony Foundation booth.

 

You can help, whether you're coming to Kansas City or not!

See Harmony Bear Drive on the Society website for details!
