On February 23, 2010, we were privileged to be part of the first meeting of the West Coast Hand Therapy Association outside the lower mainland. Angele, our association's web expert, and Josh, our clinic's web site guy and photographer, worked hard to set up the meeting, so all the technical stuff worked, and the content was streamed onto the website.
