As announced last month, EDS Today has been chosen to present a panel
discussion on EDS to the Western Social Science Association conference April
9-12, 2003 in Las Vegas, NV.

Five volunteers are scheduled to speak:
- Laura Hague, Ph.D.
- Pat Howey, Special Education Consultant
- Bonnie Heintskill, Speech/Language Pathologist
- Barbara Uggen-Davis, Editor EDS Today
- Christine Phillips, EDS Today Founder

Thanks to the support of the EDS community, we've raised the money needed to
pay for the registrations for each of the speakers! Thank you to our
wonderful donors!

However, we still need donors to contribute to the costs of hotel and
airfare to get these speakers to the conference. We estimate that for the 5
speakers, the hotel and airfare will run roughly $3000. If we don't raise
more money, the speakers will have to pay for these expenses out of pocket.

You can help send these speakers to the conference and help educate people
about EDS by making a donation. For every donation sent via the PayPal link
below, the full amount will be applied towards the costs of the conference.
You may also send donations to EDS Today, PO Box 88814, Seattle, WA
98138-2814. Be sure to include a note specifying the funds are for the
conference.
