| Friends of the
Wood Library-Museum: An Open Invitation |
Doris K. Cope, M.D., Trustee
Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology
The Board of Trustees of the Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology
(WLM) invites all ASA members and supporters to become a Friend
of the Wood Library-Museum. This fall begins the second year since
the inception of this group. The purpose of the group is to support
the mission of the WLM in preserving our professional heritage
and to join in activities that support the educational and academic
mission of the library and museum. Currently, we have more than
80 members, including senior anesthesiologists from the United
States and abroad, residents and fellows in anesthesiology, members
of the ASA Board of Directors and anesthesiologists in private
practice and in academia from around the country.
The year for the Friends begins with the Friends Appreciation
Tea at the WLM exhibit during the ASA Annual Meeting, held in
conjunction with the book-signing event by authors of the autobiographical
series published by the WLM known as Careers in Anesthesiology.
This festive event is a time to meet old and new friends, obtain
an autographed book of memoirs written by pioneers in anesthesiology
and to have a respite after the E.A. Rovenstine Memorial Lecture.
Special discounts are also offered throughout the year for the
WLM Friends, such as last year's "Sale of the Century" with special
and significant discount on WLM books.
As a special "thank you" to our Friends who renew their
membership or become new members this year, a commemorative paperweight,
replica of the memento presented by Paul M. Wood, M.D., to the
first Friends group of the WLM 50 years ago, has been produced
in limited quantity. These commemorative paperweights will be
presented to Friends whose memberships are current in this academic
year. The annual membership contribution is $40.
To become a Friend of the WLM, contact Patrick Sim, Librarian,
Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology, 520 N. Northwest Highway,
Park Ridge, IL 60068-2573, or e-mail <p.sim@asahq.org>.
