The Renal Support Network (RSN) is proud to announce the theme of the 10th Annual RSN Renal Teen Prom - January 18, 2009!
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Watch the RSN web site for more details and contact them to receive an invitation.  If you are a hospital or clinic, let them know how many invitations you'd like them to send.  As in past years, teens who would like a free prom dress and live in the southern California area will have a chance to try on some lovely dresses, and there are free ties for the guys too.  As always, they'll try to help teens with local transportation through wonderful volunteer drivers.  If you'd like to volunteer to drive, let them know.

I have collected 18 prom dresses from our local National Charity League to donate to the Prom - it will be fun to see them go to good use!

Jenna should be the transplant pin up girl or something. She looks sensational! Red is her colour! :) :) :)

Lori is great value. I so enjoy listening to Kidney Talk. All the effort Lori (and Stephen Furst) and others have put in over the years is awesome. Definitely helps to raise awareness.

Great photos.  Even the Tinman is looking at Jenna. 

Okarol you must get mother and moderator of the year award.  You do so much for so many people. On top of being a super mother/wife.

Not to take away form any other mothers or moderators on this site.
