Race for Life

It's time to start thinking PURPLE again. The surgeons area is vamping up for this years Race for Life. This year the event will be June 19. Sign-ups have started and Marilyn and Debbie thought if you signed up before the end of January, it is only $5. After that it is $10...which isn't very much to support Cancer research. Anyone can join the team, it doesn't have to be someone that works at the clinic...it can be a spouse, child, friend, neighbor, etc. They also need help thinking of fund raiser ideas. We can start them now to start raising money, they would love ideas and help...so go talk to Marilyn, Debbie, and Colleen!

Angelita Garcia

Angie is new to the clinic. She is a resource nurse with Dr. Fackrell and Dr. Soucie. She was born in Pocatello, Idaho. She is from a family with 3 kids. I think she said she has 2 brothers. She has lived in Idaho, California, Washington, and Mexico. She isn't married but does have a boyfriend, Cole. She has 2 kids, her daughter Julicia and son Miklo. She went to ISU in the CMA program and took her CMA test about 2 weeks ago. She would love to go on vacation to Thailand. Her favorite place to eat is Olive Garden.
Angie is a great asset to the clinic. She speaks Spanish which is a great help!

Olivia Maria Martinez

Olivia is new to the clinic, she is helping Dr. Soucie and Dr. Fackrell. Olivia was born in Arco. She has lived in Pocatello, Pingree, Arco, and now Blackfoot. She is from a family of 5 kids. Currently she doesn't have any kids but definatly wants kids. Olivia went to ISU College of Technology and became a CMA. She loves to go to Mexico to see her family, she actually just went over Christmas. She said there are a lot of places she would love to go visit. She loves mexican food and isn't picky.
She enjoys meeting new people, hanging out with friends. She loves the outdoors, camping, hunting, fishing, 4-wheeling...being outdoors! She enjoys her job and the people she works with.
Olivia is a great addition to the clinic!

I need help!

Our video camera broke on us 2 Christmases ago. We didn't think it would break after 3 years, but it did. We were lazy and we didn't get the video off of the tapes. We got a new video camera shortly after the other one broke but not the same kind of tape is uses in our new one. I have a machine to make DVD's from the video camera now but now video camera. If anyone has a Digital 8 (on an 8mm tape) that I could borrow for 1-2 days just to get my tapes from my old camera transfered to a DVD...I would be so appreciative. My tapes have when Kinley was born and when she was a baby. I feel so bad that I didn't do something sooner! Thanks...Ashley

Firth 2008 update

Hi all,
Just a little update from the Firth satellite to the mother ship. :) We had a great 2008 and actually had an increase in our little profits of 48% from 2007. We worked our little hearts out up here and it was a great year. Everything is going well we just need to be able to have people spread out their illness and be sick on every day of the week instead of just Monday or Tuesday, ha ha. Thanks for being our Mother ship. Don't forget us. Love Firth
