Painted Potter

The Resiterns' women had a FANTASTIC night at Painted Potter! It is always fun to take some time out of the week and to see how creative everyone can be while we all sit around, paint and laugh with each other. We owe a huge thanks to Ericca Lee for planning such a fun event and for bringing yummy snacks and wine. It was perfect, and we were SO excited to welcome some new faces!

While we didn't actually get any pictures of our painted pottery, we got plenty of pictures of our sweet Resiterns friends!

We are sad to say goodbye to Brie this year, but we are SO glad that you could come paint with us one last time. We are going to miss you!

We did manage to get Katie in one shot before she headed home. : )

Our group picture minus Katie and Stephanie. They had to leave before we could take the photo.

Hard at work!

Thanks, girls, for such a fun night! I'm already excited about next year! : )

A Little Resitern of the Month Catch-Up...

We are a little behind on announcing our past two Resiterns of the Month, so it's time for a little catch up!

Congratulations to May Resitern of the Month, Jen Coughlin!

Bon Voyage was AMAZING, and we want to thank you for all of the work you do for Resiterns!

Congratulations to June Resitern of the Month, Laura Piovesana!

You have done such a great job with service this year, and we appreciate your hard work (and you Italian cooking skills, too!)! : )

Guy's Golf

There are no pictures to share, but I am happy to report that the guys enjoyed their golf outing this past weeekend. Thankfully this year there were no wild hit balls that landed on windshields. Hopefully you all have a chance to play a few more rounds the rest of the year. Next year will be here before you know it!

Our history...

Prior to 1959, UTMB had no social organization through which its house staff and their spouses could socialize. Recognizing the need for friendship and diversification while in Galveston, L’Nell Starkey initiated the formation of a group which was to become Resiterns. Although the organization has changed somewhat

from the small group which met in the student lounge of the

Ashbel Smith Building in July 1959, its basic purpose is still the same; to offer a support group for residents, interns, fellows and their spouses/significant others throughout their years of training at UTMB.

Membership...

Membership is open to all interns, residents, fellows and their spouses or significant others. Former Resiterns members and faculty may join and receive the monthly newsletter.

During the year, members may take advantage of numerous social functions, participate in worthwhile service projects, benefit from programs designed to educate or entertain, and become involved in some of the smaller interest groups. An informative monthly newsletter is also sent to all active Resiterns members.

Annual dues are $50.00 for each family.

At a glance...

Care and Concern

The Care and Concern Committee provides Resiterns members with support and assistance when it's needed most! We celebrate the birth of each Resiterns baby with home-cooked meals for Mom and Dad. We also empathize with those friends mourning the loss of a loved one. Whatever joy or sorrow a member may be experiencing, the Care and Concern chairwoman and other friends in Resiterns are there to see the family through it.

Service Opportunities

Resiterns gives back to the local community through a variety of service projects and donations. We also collect items for the Women’s Crisis Center at monthly meetings. There are plenty of opportunities for each Resiterns member!

Mother’s Group

Mother’s Group plans activities throughout the year, including an Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Party, Children’s Bon Voyage, and Breakfast with Santa, for all the children of Resiterns members to enjoy.
