Tay Sachs
Ha Lailah Chapter of BBW is
sponsoring a Tay Sachs screen
ing project on Sunday, Feb. 17 at
the JCC from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
It is important that all couples
of childbearing age, whether
they have children or not, be
tested. If a couple does not plan
to have any more children, they
should take the test for the
sake of the children they
already have. If parents are
found to be “non-carriers,” the
children will not be “carriers.” If
one parent is a “carrier,” each
child has a 50% chance of also
being a “carrier.” This should be
kept in mind so that the children
are tested when they reach
childbearing age.
Women who think they are
pregnant or are in the first tri
mester of their pregnancy
should notify us immediately.
Arrangements will be made for
an earlier test.
The Tay Sachs test is a simple
blood test. There will be trained
technicians from Mercy
Hospital to draw the blood. To
defray the costs of testing there
will be a voluntary fee of $3.00
per person. Baby sitting ser
vices will be provided.
For further information
please contact: Sue Brodsky
(364-5609) or Rozanne Sklar
(364-5879).

Dolls For
