This years midyear regional meeting was held in Portland, OR and it was a blast. The University of Washington was well represented. The theme for the social the first night was the Oregon Trail and first year representatives of the University of Washington one a prize for the best costume as they teamed together to make a wagon - oxen & all! Way to go class of 2013! Many of our policies were passed and our very Karen Craddick is the new APhA regional delegate.

If you thought this conference was fun - or you didn't get a chance to go - consider attending APhA annual in Washington DC.
