Dear Camilla, and also Shelly, who had posted an earlier message,
I am having trouble posting messages, so I am replying to this one and
I hope the information reaches you!
Shelly, in response to your question about a "Taking Control of
Parkinson's Disease" satellite symposium meeting in the West Palm
Beach area, right now there is a tentative meeting in Pompano Beach.
You can call Ava Pierre at 305-786-7349 for more information on this
meeting.
And Camilla, I'm glad you asked for helpful hints from anybody who has
done this before. I look forward to reading the responses, and
sharing them with the local groups around the country organizing
meetings, who have the same concerns.
Everybody should be aware of, and make use of our "Taking Control of
PD" hotline number: 212-880-5336.
****And if calling the long distance number is too much of an expense
for you, please give us a quick call and simply ask us to call you
right back. We know that you are already doing so much to organize
meetings, and we will do what we can to make it as easy as possible
for you!****
For anybody else who wants to be involved, or for any other
information about the symposium, please call the "Taking Control of
PD" Hotline at 212-880-5336. There's still time to set up a meeting
in your area, or we can refer you to an existing site in your area
and/or give you the answers to any questions you may have.
Also, for those of you who are planning a meeting yourself, please
make sure we know about you! Please give the hotline a call and let
us know where you are, how many people you are expecting, etc... so
when people call us we will be able to refer them to the closest
meeting with the most up-to-date info.
And thanks to everyone who is working so hard to make this event such
a wonderful success!!!! And, as always, we're here to help, so call
us if you need anything!
Sincerely,
Juliet Johnson

I've just learned that the facilitator of our local support group (Oxford,
Ohio) has been able to arrange for us to receive the satellite conference here
at Miami University--we're inviting PD folks from Middletown, Hamilton,OH
also. This will be a first for us, and it's exciting! Do any who have done
it before have suggestions, warnings,etc. as to how to make it most bene-
ficial to the "assembled multitude" ?
