Promoting Spheramine is an international Public Relations firm called Ruder Finn. RF was started in 1948, and one of its first projects was to promote the career of Perry Como, remember him? RF has a Government Relations Division in Wash., DC. One of the RF linked references mentions a company called Vaultreport (one word). They evaluate the PR companies such as PF. Apparently involving a PR company is part of the processs of promoting a new drug. Notice all those commecials we now hear on TV, always ending in the caveat, "Ask your Doctor." I suggested that the PWP community could benefit from seeking more help from the professionals. There are volunteer organizations such as the Executive Service Corps, and SCORE that could make such leadership available pro bono. Just as Hospice grew, there is now a movement in the Churches called the Parish Nursing Ministry. Look up this Movement on the Internet. Suggest it to your clergyman, woman. Such a Ministry would be especially helpful for treatment. The Churches, and synagogues, could be in a win--win situation with PD. As the politicians say, "We need to GROW" PD advocacy. _________________________________________ This message was sent using Conectiv.net WebMail. http://webmail.conectiv.net/
