Goming in the Adventist Review
These days the Adventist lifestyle is making news, both in the
scientific literature and popular journals. In fact, some non-Ad-
ventists are more excited about our health principles than many
Adventists! Don’t miss the Adventist Review for September 20 for
a special section on cancer research, cardiovascular disease,
vegetarian diet, weight-control programs, and how to spot a
“quack.” All these articles have been written for the Review by
scientists from Loma Linda University.

come together to discuss the con-
cept of philanthropy and how they
could advance the work of the
Church by increasing voluntary
support for Adventist colleges and
hospitals in their respective com-
munities.
Winton Beaven, the confer-
ence’s keynote speaker, challenged
the audience to renew the caring
mission of the Church and to
““finish the work in our lifetime.”’
Early in his career, Dr. Beaven,
who is now assistant to the presi-
dent of Kettering Medical Center,
worked in public relations at
Union College. He was the first
Adventist institutional worker of-
ficially recognized by national
organizations as a professional in
this field.
The conference banquet cli-
maxed several months of anticipa-
tion as the General Conference
presented the triennial Trailblazer
in Philanthropy Award in recogni-
tion of an individual who lends
creativity, initiative and consistent
professional leadership in behalf
of Adventist communication and
philanthropy. The honor is espe-
cially meaningful because recipi-
ents are nominated by their peers.
Presented with this year’s
award was Sheree Parris Nudd,
director of development and
public relations for the past five
years at Huguley Memorial Hospi-
tal in Fort Worth, Texas. Last
year the hospital reached a $3
million milestone in funding for a
health fitness center, meeting
$500,000 and $250,000 challenge
grants along the way. This
achievement was recognized when
she was honored as the ‘1983
Outstanding Fund Raising Ex-
ecutive’ by the Fort Worth
Chapter of the National Society
for Fund Raising Executives.
