> Announcements:

	Buprenorphine
	The HIV/AIDS Program has updated the informational flyer on Burprenorphine. This flyer provides detailed information on how Burprenorphine is used to treat dependence on heroin and other opiates. It also has an updated list of medical providers within the state of Washington who can prescribe it. Copies can be obtained by calling, Diane Fererro at 206-296-4649 or e-mail, diane.fererro@kingcounty.gov.
	Who Does What
	The 2007 Seattle/King County HIV/AIDS resource list is now available in both English and Spanish. To obtain copies please the HIV/STD Hotline at 206-205-7837 or 800-678-1595.
	New Infogram: Update on Poppers
	Although poppers have been around for decades, information about their health risks has not always been consistent or accurate. Urban myths, deceptive retail ads and outdated research may confuse individuals about the actual facts. » Poppers Infogram in English » Poppers Infogram in Spanish
	Parking for CHOW Meetings
	A reminder to all CHOW attendees that Lifelong has asked CHOW members to no longer park in the lower level parking lot. These spaces are for staff, clients and volunteers. This change might mean leaving a few minutes earlier to find street parking or sneaking out for a couple of minutes to feed a meter. But it will be greatly appreciated by and very helpful to Lifelong clients, volunteers and staff.
	Cell Phone and Pagers
	It would be greatly appreciated if CHOW members could turn off cell phones and pagers or put them on silent or vibrate before the meetings begin. This will avoid distracting presenters and attendees during presentations.
