Dear John, and the good folks who carried all the heavy bags of coins to Parkinsaw, MI to make their special contribution to fund research, THANK YOU! I hope Porky Porkinson, the Parkinson Pig, had help in counting and rolling the coins, it can be a pretty time consuming task. It helps if there is an atmosphere of good cheer and friendly banter -- and these are always present in Parkinsaw, MI. We, at the Parkinson Alliance, will be happy to keep a special line item for donations received from Parkinsaw, MI. On our monthly reports, we will show these donations separately from others received from Michigan. For example, on our last list posted a few days ago, $298.00 was received from Michigan -- our entry in the future will show, Michigan Total- $298.00, Parkinsaw - $85.00. Thanks again, I will echo John's encouraging words, "Don't forget to visit us from time to time, now that you're an Official Contributor."

We've collected a total of 8,500 pennies from our virtual canisters to date, or for those who have trouble with math like I do, that turns out to be $85. Not too shabby. I just got back in town after caring for my mom who recently broke her hip, so the checks received will be sent to the Parkinsons Alliance tomorrow. I've asked them to keep track of these and future contributions in a Parkinsaw, MI category, but I know not whether they'll honor that request. So, ladies and gentlemen. thank you once again for your support. Don't forget to visit us from time to time, now that you're an Official Contributor. Stop in the Northern Lights microbrewery and enjoy a tasty bottle of Levalager, and listen to our local oldies but goodies band, the Dopaminos, play A Whole Lot of Shakin' Goin' On, and This is Medicated for the One I Love. Don't forget: Laughter is Powrful Medicine. John Bjork (60/20) A View from the Lighter Side of PD Parkinsaw, MI
