EFI’s Annual Meeting Recognizes Supporters

Founded in 1971, the Epilepsy Foundation of Idaho observed its 34th annual meeting November 9, 2005 in Boise. Volunteers, friends, board members, and staff celebrated a successful year and heard Board President Alan Minskoff deliver the :State of the Foundation" report outlining the activities and accomplishments of the previous 12 months.

Mr. Minskoff noted that three new members joined the Board in 2005: Tonya Sears of Post Falls, Jack Harty of Boise, and Julia Browning, also of Boise. Reelected to three-year terms at the meeting were Lana Baugh, Karen Havey, Rex Lott, and Wilma Strohmeier.

Jane Janzer, EFI's Winning Kid, helped Mr. Minskoff recognize and present certificates of appreciation for "Service to People with Epilepsy." Those honored were Robert DeLong, Julie Walton, Pat Harting, D. L. Evans Bank, Rose Hill Jewelry, Tom Hennessey, Mark Witt, St. Luke's Regional Medical Center, and the Wendell School District. Receiving the "Volunteer of the Year" award was Noah Minskoff.

Ideas are being sought for a special celebration to mark the 35th anniversary.
