Dear List,

During the last few months, while I haven't been active on the list, I have
not been idle.

1.    I participated in the  Parkinson Foundation of Canada's strategic
planning weekend, during which the Foundation was reinvented with a new name
"Parkinson Society Canada" and a new mission statement "We are the voice of
the Parkinson community in Canada".  I covered the conference for the
"Parkinson Post"; my artice will be  in the summer issue

2.    I was on the Selection Committee for the new CEO and National Director
of Parkinson Society Canada.  She is Mary Jardine, and she comes to us from
the BC & Yukon Division of the Canadian Cancer Society.  Mary has
substantial experience in the voluntary health charity sector.  We ae
confident she will lead us on to substantial growth in the achievement of
our mission

3.    The Second Edition of my booklet "Neurosurgery for Parkinson's
Disease: a patient's perspective" is at the printer and is expected to be
available at the Central Ontario Region of PSC's spring Conference on
Saturday May 13.  List members will nr interested to know that Bonb Fink and
Charlie Meyer were among the reviewers.

Cheers,

Bill
