program activities include an annual business meeting with review of financial reports, a board president report to the organization, an update from the dayton children's hemophilia treatment center, as well as information regarding legislation presented by the ohio bleeding disorders council state advocacy chairman. This meeting also recognizes our 75 volunteers. In the summer, we organize a family fest at an area camping/retreat center. This is a family-centered weekend filled with educational seminars, inspirational speakers and family activities. We served 30 families at this 3-day retreat. Our fall outing is a program that encourages networking, communication and connection in context of fun family activities in which we served 120 individuals.
