Op de recente Huntingtondag was er niet alleen gelegenheid voor leuke contacten, nuttige informatie en een gezellige lunch. Nee, er werden ook serieuze prijzen vergeven aan de beruchte ballenbak….wie o wie raadde het exacte aantal ballen dat in de bak zat? Een zaak voor goede schatters en alerte kijkers.

De drie winnaars konden elk een VVV cadeaubon in ontvangst nemen! De winnaar een bon van maar liefst 75 euro, de nummer twee van vijftig euro en de derde plek nam een bon mee naar huis van 25 euro.

Uiteindelijk gingen de prijzen naar:  

Jade Jansen (roze envelop)

Tessa Verdonschot (verpleegkundige bij Land van Horne)

Dirk Jan Vogels

De prijswinnaars waren bijzonder in hun nopjes en kregen de prijs uitgereikt van Hoofd Landelijk Bureau Cindy Kruijthof en VVH-voorzitter Rob Haselberg.

ALV en ledenmiddag

Nieuws - Vereniging van Huntington

Na een zeer geslaagde Huntingtondag is er op zaterdag 14 juni is er opnieuw een interessante dag voor leden van onze vereniging, namelijk de jaarlijkse Ledendag in Zwolle. Deze dag vindt tussen 10.00 en 16.00 uur plaats.

Verder is er een lezing door Anne Braakman, directeur van het Huntington KennisNet Nederland (HKNN) over de doelstellingen van het HKNN en wat onze leden daarvan merken.  
Gedurende de dag zijn er enkele zogenaamde thematafels waar we, na een korte inleiding, ervaringen uitwisselen in kleine groepjes. We hebben voor drie onderwerpen gekozen:
