* Reminder: Use of the LHENA Membership Directory is to allow the members to have a quick, convenient way to communicate with other members by phone or email, but not to use for bulk-mailings of any size or mass emailing for non-LHENA business. LHENA's membership is annual, and therefore we receive a membership application each year. Should you prefer to not have your name included in the directory for any year, please do not check the box, "Yes, my name may be used in the LHENA directory." Thank you for your cooperation and continued support
