Having problems with message search?
For those in the New England area there are two upcoming seminars [see below] that the HDSA New England Chapter is having that you might be interested in.
Periodically I like reading some of the HDSA Chapter Newselters to see what's going on in other area's of our country and the New England Chapter has, so far, proven to be one of THE best in raising awareness and promoting advocacy for all HD families! The efforts of this group should be written up as "best practice" procedures and shared with other HDSA Chapters and HD Centers of Excellences! Here's a link to their Winter 2007 newsletter to get an idea on what they have done and plan to do so you can see what I'm talking about! http://www.hdsa-ne.org/Portals/0/Newsletters/winter2007.pdf
Seminars are FREE. Please RSVP (see RSVP dates ) to: Rosemary Best (888) 872-8102 extension 12 or Rosemary@...
