Dear Janet,

I am again writing on behalf of the COG (Connecticut valley Ostomy and inflammatory bowel disease Group ) regarding the funds donated to the group. While we appreciate there may be difficulties releasing the money the hospital has been holding for us, we would like to know how to go about accessing our funds. We need this money in order to bridge the gap between being supported by the hospital and being self supporting. You may not be aware that there are over 55 local people on the group mailing list, many have no email access and the newsletter is their only source of information update.

I have opened a bank account in Chester at Bryant Credit Union. It is under the name of COG. The routing and account number are enclosed. We have 3 nominees for treasurer and will vote at our next meeting in Oct. Please let us know if there is anything else we need to do.

We had a group meeting this week and those present requested copies of this letter to go out with the September newsletter (mailed Sept 30th). It would be great if I could include your response.  

Yours Sincerely

Margaret Heale RN MSc

Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurse Specialist
