Hi Barb, Janet, Hilary and Ivan, et al: I love your idea to garner more media attention through holding an ice cream pig-out (you'll knew I'd sneak that reference in somehow) to call attention to the dearth of media attention to PD. We, up here in the wilds of Parkinsaw, MI, think your idea is a "Three-Scooper": So, you can count on our support in this many-flavored adventure of yours. We also suggest the new Mess-B-Gone super bib, one of the many quality Parkinsaw Produced Products for Parkinsonians, be made available to all participants. Not only will the Mess-B-Gone bib protect valuable clothing while the Hagen Daaz is being slurped, but to bib could also carry a message, something like: "Ice cream's gonna be eaten til PD is beaten!" or, "We'll eat ice cream by the pound, until a PD cure is found".
