Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 1. Needed: More and better organized local support groups, incorporated as not for profit organizations with member constituents; Board of Directors; Advisory council. Tax deductable. 2. Avoid turning the group meetings into a series of classroom lectures, recognize each person's personal and social needs. 3. Challenge people into serious giving, use a lawyer, wills. Churches ask for tithes, for serious money, instead of being satisfied with walking around pocket change. Approach the rich and poor, Leona Helmsley's husband a NYC real estate man, had Parkinson's, and major money. 4. The movie, The Edge, with Anthony Hopkins as the billionaire, reflects today's attitude that being a millionaire is no big deal, serious money men have billions. 5. How often have you heard the response, "I would give to the charity if I could be sure that it went directly into research funding?". Why not ask, e.g., the PD Centers of Excellence, How can such giving be accomplished, especially without the brass placque on the wall, and the black bow tie soirees. 6. Do the major players, regional and national organizations go around organizing and nuturing support groups? Unions organize local groups, or did so in the past. 6. Why isn't there more networking between regional and special interest groups? A Fall or Spring overenight retreat, lakeside, (Just remembered Jesus held those lake side meetings). This could bring together representativess, e.g., I have a list of 20 upstaatee NY contact people, groups. 7.How is it that a Neuro from a medical school has never heard of PAN? Why do we not hold doctors accountable for their compartmenalizing of knowledge, e.g., not informing their patients that there is a local support group. Why don't the national groups do volume buying ofitms such as the lucite holders needed to place pamphlets in doctor's offices? 8.Why isn't there a catalogue put out by the natinal groups that would contain practical items for a local group. I had to research for a cordless portable microphone system, and a SONY HI 8 video system to use at meetings and in-service presentations. My daughter, an architect, made a banner, with a logo, for use at health fairs. Why not a catalog of such items? 9.Both audio-visuals were bought with $2,000 from a grant which we received from a local medical group. A visitor from another group wanted to know how we applied for the grant. Why doesn't the national groups hold seminars in grantmanship? 10. Shall I continue? Don't let someone carry the piano while you carry the bench! Start out by giving a $1,000 to your local support group. Surprise people by your unanticipated generosity.It will make commitment to the cause palpable to yourself and visible to others, It will demonstrate leadership, "putting your money where your mouth is."...Unlike someone in high office who does the talk, but not the walk." And remember the widow's mite, a small coin, all she had. This was cited as commendable giving. Some think, " you carry the piano and I'll carry the bench".
