Subject: Re: june 14 satellite conference on pd To: [log in to unmask] JN>Hi Gang. JN>This sounds interesting. Does anybody know if folks outside of the >seven cities will access to video? (Maybe via support groups?) JN>Joanna Those with a Ku Band satellite system, in the US, Canada and Mexico should be able to view the program. The sites will be set up with a telephone for on-site questions to the remote hosts. They may have an 800 number accessable for others in "unauthorized" locations. The Arizonia site has been advising callers on their voice mail of the conference for months. Other ADPA locations have ignored this opportunity for support groups to get up to the minute information. Major hospitals have KU band capabilities and use it for seminars. They would love to have the free publicity of hosting such an event. It is incomprehensible that some state ADPA groups are not interested in promoting a valuable program such as this. These "turf wars" are symptomatic of the chaos in trying to get all the horses lined up in support of the Udall bill. There is evidently not enough glory to go around. Support groups interested in participating in the satellite conference could approach their local hospital and see if they have the facilities to host a group. Another method is to meet in the home of someone who has a KU capable satellite system or the showroom of the local satillite dealer. With or without the "Support" of your local ADPA, view the conference. Time of of the essence, you need time to set things up and alert your groups. * 1st 2.00e #803 * [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
