Perhaps there main mission is to raise funds for research. I wonder how they do on that score???? I've seen statements that NPF says they maintain about 50 research centers and I know the cost of a research facility is about $ 100,000 per year. Would it not be nice to think of a way to double the size of the pulbic and corporate donations for PD research. Perhaps it might be appropo for one of the key organizations to hold a form for any to attend who want to help raise funds for research or maybe all the organizations could get in on this project if they feel it merits consideration However I would attend even if it was a sponsored event by only one organization. The Goal is research funds and how to get them. My thoughts this morning on my 6th Day of requib and doing well as you can see from my feisty nature the last few days. Dale Severance.
