Hello PIEN'ers...... After much discussion pro and con, I am making a late effort, trying to raise money to pay for both a local high school student who helps me, and whose mom is a close friend, and for myself, to get us to Washington, DC, for the PAN (now MJFox Foundation) annual forum, for at least a day. If I get there, I hope to meet friends from the PIEN list. ** I'm wondering if people on the PIEN list could reply to this message if they plan on attending. It would be great for us to meet while there as a group over lunch or in the evening. A thought about future summer meetings. Maybe one day we could have a meeting in warm, breezy and comfortable Maine for a planning seminar. There are wonderful facilities at the Universty of New England, Portland/Biddeford, and miles and miles of Maine's famous shoreline to enjoy. There are plenty of us Mainers who would help to host visitors from all corners of the globe. Just a thought- now back to getting ready for HOT, sticky, Washington D.C., and hoping my funding sources can help me get there, at least for some of the Forum. Ivan Suzman 50/39/36
