There is no cost for you to receive this -- just ask your members to bring their jars of pennies and brainstorm during the next meeting about methods to use to raise money for PD research. By the way, is your group listed on the database that Dale Severance has been collecting and updating for the past year? If not, please give information to Bill when you speak with him. If you are inquiring about educational material that NPF has available, a large selection at no cost, call (800)327-4545 or visit the NPF website at: www.parkinson.org and select "Library". TODAY'S THOUGHT: Let's grow flowers, vegetables and $$$$ for PRO-Seed Grants this spring. Order your FREE seed packets today from the Parkinson Alliance, 888-331-4673. Here is a 'fecund' idea, let's contact seed companies and ask for seed packets to be made up with the PA Logo and have a percentage of the company's profits armarked for PD research. Anyone wants to take up this challenge and run with it?? Report back with results, and add your very own idea (strange/crazy/???) on how we can grow PRO-Seed Grants????
