^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 50/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 67 Deg. F. sunset - clear and dry :-) ******************************************************************** Dear friends in the Parkinson's community: ANNOUNCING A GALA FUNDRAISING PARTY I am planning to host a fundraising gathering for PD research on Sunday afternoon, September 24, 2000, in Portland, Maine, and would like to link in with the PD Unity Walk in New York City. I hope to invite dozens of friends and caregivers, and raise at least $15,000.00 for PD research. Anyone reading this message is invited, and you may call me at Cure-It Productions, 207-797-5785 for information on travel and accommodation . My two questions are: 1) How can $15,000.00 be best used to help PD research? It is not a lot , but it might make a bit difference to a research project either about to start , or already going on. 2) Where does the Unity Walk money go? It seems like there are so many possible recipients. I really wonder what the options are when one has this $15,000.00 goal in mind. Sincerely yours, Ivan Suzman :-) 50/39/36
