A Unique Volunteer Opportunity for WPTA Members!
Milwaukee is hosting the 2013 National Disabled Sailing Championships on Lake Michigan. The races are Sept 6th, 7th, and 8th, with a practice clinic on the 5th. PTs are needed to help transfer the racers onto and off of their boats. Volunteers are needed for 2 shifts, from 8-11 a.m. to help get the racers onto boats, then 3-6 p.m. to get them off the boats. WPTA member Jan Lawrence, PT is the PT coordinator and can be reached at jlawrence470@gmail.com for more details or to volunteer. Thanks!

WPT Scholars Awards
Chris Crivello Community Service Award
Tracy Rasor Sports Medicine Scholarship
Congratulations to all of our scholarship winners.
They will be recognized at the Spring Conference Awards Dinner on April 18th in Oconomowoc.
The WPTA has exciting news for you. This year you can support both the Foundation for Physical Therapy as well as the WPT
Fund with one donation. For every donation made to the WPT Fund's Legacy Endowment in 2013, the WPTA will send a matching donation to Foundation for Physical Therapy (total donation up to $10,000).
If you have been considering joining or renewing your membership in the Legacy Society, now is the time. Imaging how great you will feel when your donation to the Legacy Endowment supports not only student scholarship and grant opportunities, but an equivalent donation is made to the PT Foundation supporting research. You get twice the donating power as well as twice that
feel-good sensation!

At the October WPTA Board of Directors Meeting, UW Student Megan Veltman shared stories of UW's service learning trips in 2012 to Uganda and Belize and asked for support for two trips planned in 2013. The BOD will fund $300 towards a service trip to Belize in January 2013 and $500 for supplies for the Uganda trip planned for June 2013. We hope you enjoy the photos from this year's trips. Watch for 2013 photos on the website and on WPTA's Facebook page!
