A. CSH NEWS
1. Membership Renewal
It’s that time of year again, and most of you should have
your renewal membership packages by now. If you aren’t yet a member
but would like a package please contact our Membership Secretary
at homeopathy@csoh.ca.
2. Group Extended Health Insurance Benefits!
In a very exciting development, we are in the process of negotiating a
group insurance plan for our membership who wish to purchase
Extended Health Benefits for themselves and their families. This
extended benefits plan would include the usual dental, glasses, and
CAM modalities – plus
homeopathic care by homeopaths registered with CSH. Access
to this extended health benefits coverage will be available to
interested patients as well, provided they became Supporting Members of
CSH. We expect that the premiums will be offered at competitive rates,
especially as the number of subscribers increases.
3. Brenda Malin Memorial Fund
It is with great sadness that the Board reports the death
of our dear colleague and friend – and CSH Treasurer – Brenda Malin,
from complications resulting from myasthenia gravis. A passionate and
steadfast supporter of homeopathy, Brenda joined the CSH Board in 2006.
Donations in her memory will be added to the Brenda Malin
Memorial Fund, which will be used to support causes that were dear to
Brenda’s heart, such as supporting rural homeopaths.
You may have noticed on your renewal membership form an
option to make a donation to this fund.
4. New Board Members
We are pleased to announce that two new members have been
appointed to the CSH board. Donna
Costa, from Ontario, has taken over as our new Treasurer. We are also welcoming back
Rami Shami who had to leave us last spring and is now taking over as
Head of Public Awareness & Education. Learn more about Donna
and Rami by clicking on their biography

Pacific, 6 pm Mountain, 7 pm Central, 8 pm Eastern, 9 pm Atlantic. The
