Dear Celia, I'm very pleased with your reaction, because it means that we have 3 parts of the World, joining the World Wide Unity Walk. > I've been very interested in the material you've been sending to the PD list > and would like some more information on the World Wide Unity Walk. The idea is to connect the Main cities (figurative, the distance is main issue), following the Time zones and return to the special starting place, a day after. This special starting place should be a congress, seminar or special meeting about Parkinson's, somewhere in the world. > I publish the newsletter for the Victorian Parkinson' Association and am a member of the > Management Committee. I would be very pleased if you can send me some issues of your magazine and some more information about PD in Australia (if available) : Structure of your Association and groups, number of patients, members, ages etc >We are in the process of linking up with other PD groups > in other states of Australia, and I think this would be a great way to unify > our various groups. I'm sure it's very useful to have good contact with other groups, because working TOGETHER is very important. Clustering our forces is elementary, but making people listening to us is even more important. One voice can whisper, ten voices speak up a little louder, a hundred voices attrack attention, a thousand voices awakens people, 1,000,000 and more makes them listen!!! Isn't there an Australian Parkinson Association? What do you think of a World Wide organization? Having this WWU walk organized and spend a part of the money for organizing a World Congress of Parkinson patients? I have a lot more questions to ask but not now. > Also, we are trying to create a single logo for all the Australian groups and > are closely looking at using the James Parkinson's tulip as the logo, but we > need for background information on it. Would you have information on it? The Canadian Society uses the James Parkinson's tulip as their logo. You can contact them through Barbara Patterson or Lynda Hayes, both are on the list. The description of the logo is used in a folder. The tulip is grown in Holland. I'll try to have some more information about it, but again the Canadian PD society knows pobably all about it. >I've tried to find it on the Internet but didn't get anywhere? Did you follow the instructions of John Cottingham to search the Data? Any results on your search for "tulip" ? Thank you for introducing yourself kees Paap <[log in to unmask]>
