Upcoming Scrubmates Events

Hi All,

I just updated our website with the most recent best picks list, newsletter, and upcoming events

I hope to see new and returning faces at some of our upcoming events.  I'm especially excited about dessert gourmet night and the Indianapolis Indian's Game!  We just got my husbands call schedule for Aug/Sept which let me finally rsvp yes to these events.  Before we had my son, Julian, I used to be excited when scrubmates events were scheduled on a night that my husband was on-call because it gave me something to do in the evening while he was working at the hospital.  But now, it's the opposite, I tend to hope that he'll be home from work in time to put Julian to bed so that I can make it to a scrubmates event.  It's always worth while to spend time with other spouses of residents.  I learn so much from hearing about the experiences of others in the group.  Its also great that Scrubmates is open to people coming to events as often or rarely as their schedule permits--I know that during some rotations when my husband is on-call a lot it may be several weeks before I can make it to a scrubmates event!  Even if I can't make it to an event, it's nice to visit our web site, facebook page, or blog to see what's been happening.
