Manufacturers' Night 2008 Enjoy the evening on Wednesday, March 5th 2008, as professional pharmacy fraternity Lambda Kappa Sigma(LKS) and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University of British Columbia present to you Manufacturers’ Night 2008. The event will be taking place from 5-7PM in the SUB Ballroom, and tickets are $3.00 in advance, and $4.00 at the door, with all proceeds being donated to charity. Manufacturers' Night(MN) is LKS’s paramount annual event that invites leading pharmaceutical companies across Canada to join the student’s of UBC for an evening. During this event, manufacturers will have booths set up with their banners, representatives, samples, brochures, amongst other things. Students are invited to come and meet and greet with all of the manufacturers. They will be seeking information in regards to career opportunities, new innovations, amongst many other things. Some of the leading experts and professors of our Faculty will also be attending this event. Together, it creates one of the most fun-filled and educational evening for our Faculty. The current manufacturers include: Apotex, Bayer, Boiron, Leo-Pharma, Novopharm, Organon, PCCA, Pfizer, Sandoz, Schering, Stiefel, and Wyeth. LKS is one of the student-ran clubs within the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at UBC.

For more information, feel free to contact the coordinators of MN 2008: Ming Chang - mingchang.rx@gmail.com Gary Chu - garykwc@hotmail.com Paula Do - paulado@gmail.com Pharmacy Showcase Pharmacists Awareness Week is ending off with a bang this year. What better way to celebrate then the soothing Flamenco sounds of guitarist and third year pharmacy student Dan Heffner, as well as guitarist and fourth year student Gibong Lee. If that doesn’t completely satisfy your cravings, then I’m sure UBC Pharmacy’s finest, The Painkillers, will finish the job. This event will take place Friday, March 7th, 2008 from 12-1PM in the SUB. For more information please contact Dan Heffner at danheff@interchange.ubc.ca.
Community Centre Outreach What about the community outside of UBC? How are we helping them see the importance of pharmacists and managing their health? We are actually visiting the Kerrisdale Community Centre at 42nd and West Boulevard from 11-1PM, on Tuesday, March 4th 2008. The community outreach is equivalent to the pharmacy fair held at the SUB, but with fewer though more relevant posters for the expected population. If you are interested and are available on Tuesday, March 4th 2008 and would like to help, please contact Community Outreach Coordinator Stephanie Yu at nienie_03@hotmail.com.

importance of hand washing, or the difference between medication and
candy?
