This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------7160750D3131 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The following message was sent to the National Parkinson's Foundation by Sherrie Randall for David Look. It summarizes the symposium that took place here in Rochester, N.Y. on Saturday March 15. Since this message was sent out, we learned that Governor Pataki had not made the proclamation. We are still working to get him to do so. The message also states that our County Executive and City Mayor issued a joint proclamation declaring April as Parkinson's Awareness Month. Hopefully the Governor will follow their lead. All support groups should work on getting their local governments to make the proclamation as well as their state governments.

A bus from the Utica/Rome area as well as a van from Binghamton NY brought people together who had only met via email. Interesting and informative talks were given by the m.d.'s. Other important work took place as well. Nearly everyone signed letters urging their Congresspeople to support the Udall bill and thanking Sens. Moynihan and D'Amato for their willingness to do so. Joan Mueller was there from D'Amato's office so we got to convey our thanks to her. A joint proclamation was read from the mayor and the county executive's offices declaring April Parkinson's Awareness Month! We also heard via the toronto list serve late last night Pitaki was following suit!(No confirmaation on this at this time). PSGUNY is proud to be part of the effort for awareness, education and support. It feels like the PD train has been refurbished with a high speed engine and the momentum is gathering at break-neck speed. We in Rochester say it's time! We're silent no more! That's all for now. srandall for david look psguny in rochester,ny --------------7160750D3131--
