This is the "Before" picture meaning "before" all the baked goods disappeared!
Most of the baked goods had a toothpick with an audiology fact on it. Hence the event's name of "Snack 'n' Fact". ;-)
Having just returned from a 4-day medical mission to Mexico with clinic, classes, applications, and a Grand Rounds case presentation to prepare for, I unfortunately did not have time to make any baked goods to donate. :-( I had wanted to make cookies. Instead I had suggested at the 8 October 2010 ATSU SAA General Membership meeting that we give out earplugs for free in conjunction with the Snack 'n' Fact event since it is after all also National Protect Your Hearing Month, not just National Audiology Awareness Month. So we had a number of earplugs in stock to give out, and they were quickly scooped up by many of the dental students (all that drilling!). Also I helped with set-up and loaned out the thing used as the 'donation bucket'...if you've been to McDonald's in the last couple of weeks for a Happy Meal, it may look familiar. ;-)
By far the most awesome baked goods donated by one of the Audiology Department staff members. They're mini pumpkins and spider brownies. Almost too cute to eat!
"What?! They're free?" - - And the masses swarm to the tables of baked goodies & audiology knowledge on sticks. ;-) A number of monetary donations were made in support of the ATSU SAA...thank you, supporters!
I'm "Hear 4 U Always"...to remind you that October is not the only month to be aware of audiology and protecting your hearing. It's a year-round thing!!! 24/7 for 365...unless it's Leap Year, then it's for 366. ;-) Eat, drink, be merry...and wear hearing protection if you're going to be exposed to loud sounds e.g. at a concert, fireworks show, etc. Even when vacuuming! I do! Noise-induced hearing loss is no laughing matter, my friends.
