FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rutland, March 12 -- Dale Severance, a founder of the national Parkinson's Alliance, will speak at the March 12 meeting of the Rutland Regional Parkinson's Support Group.The brand new Alliance will furnish leadership to the entire Parkinson's community by setting an agenda for action in coping with the disease and developing a cure, and by facilitating cooperation in the attainment of these goal. Severance will take his listeners on a fascinating voyage, retracing the steps of the major players in the game with words and video camera as they jockied for position and vied for funds and members -- and as they made halting efforts to work together in supporting the Udall Bill, a measure they recognized far transcended them in importance to their members. Severance's behind -the - scene coverage of these events, in particular of a crucial Miami confab, will advance understanding of where we are today and how we can best support future efforts to put an end to the terrible scourge we call Parkinson's Disease. Members of the public are welcome at the meeting, which will start promptly at 2;00 PM next Thursday, March l2th, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 85 West Street in downtown Rutland. Those planning to attend should so inform Elliott Haynes at phone/fax 492-3566. Haynes is also available for further information.
