Subject: HD Caregiver Conference


Hi Everyone...

I just wanted to pass along some information on an upcoming conference on
caring for HD patients that is being hosted by the Central Ohio Chapter.
The event will take place in Dublin, OH on Saturday, October 8, 2005 - and
they've scheduled two wonderful speakers. I've had the privilege of hearing
both of these speakers and you just can't miss this!

Dr. Sandra Kostyk - directs the Center of Excellence at Ohio State - she
spoke at the research forum our support group hosted in 2003. And Jim
Pollard is widely respected for his expertise in caring for people with HD -
I had the pleasure of participating in his workshop at the 1999 national
convention in Washington D.C. He has written several very important HD
patient care guides also.

I'm trying to help the folks in Columbus drum up some support. So....
*please* if you can get away on that Saturday... *it will definitely be
worth your time!!* My friend, Elaine Vuyk, and I will be there - hope to
see you too!!

Thanks for your time,
Robin VanGorder
