This year's Forum will be held in Washington, DC June 27 - 30. The Forum is a unique event in the Parkinson's community - combining state-of-the-art research updates, intensive lobbying and advocacy training, opportunities to meet directly with your Senators, Representatives and key staff, and chances to meet and share ideas with Parkinson's activists from around the country. Registration is now open. If you would like more information or intend to register, please contact the Network as soon as possible. This year's Forum is being held at the Hyatt Regency hotel on Capitol Hill. A limited number of rooms are still available at the special event rate, but they are filling up fast - especially if you intend to stay in the hotel Saturday, June 26 or Wednesday, June 30. Summer is a very busy tourist season in Washington and room availability is limited. To make hotel reservations, call the Hyatt directly at (800) 858-2872, ext. 8372, and be sure to mention that you would like one of the rooms reserved for the Parkinson's Action Network Public Policy Forum. To register for the 1999 Public Policy Forum, or receive more information - including about the availability of scholarship funds - please call the Network at (800) 850-4726 or email [log in to unmask]
