Over the past couple of weeks I have been compiling a list of those sites
who have made arrangements to receive the March 7th Satellite Symposium.
Many APDA offices have made arrangements for sites in and around their
locations. If you don't see your site listed here, send me email. PDF has
listed their site. NPF locations are unknown at this time.
If your site or state is not listed here....send email...hope to update the
list regularly. Let's not let 'politics' keep these sites hidden....this
symposium will reach 4 times the number of parkinsonians that last years
conference because more of us have been asked to be involved. Writing,
speaking, seeing the word Parkinson's helps us all increase awareness,
funding, and shows our appreciation of the educational grant by Somerset
Pharmaceutical that makes this possible. Unsure? Don't know how to get a site?
See the message "Finding Locations in your community to receive the Symposium".
