Subj: Parkinson's Awareness Month Activities Date: 04/23/98 To: CC: [log in to unmask] Update on cities in Ohio signing proclamations: 1) Miami County Commisioners, Troy, Oh. 2) Village of Potsdam Oh., issued proclamation proclaiming April 22, 1998 as a special "Parkinsons Awareness day. The Potsdam United Methodist Church, with assistance from the Miami County Parkinson's Support Group, held a work- shop on Parkinsons and Muscular Disorders. It was a big success! We had a certified Neurologist as the guest speak- er. There were several new Parkinsonians present that will no doubt join our support group. I suggest that until the congress (both the Senate and House) decides to appropriate the $100 million for research of Park- insons, we make every day "Parkinsons Awareness Day"! April has given us a great start! Why stop now! Comments?
