migrant_health_research : Message: Reminder - Be sure to register for the 2008 East Coast Migrant Stream Forum ! !

Dear Colleagues,

If you have not registered for the 2008 East Coast Migrant Stream Forum, please be sure to do so ... and make an effort to attend!

It is a great meeting of hard-working health professionals, health advocacy groups, and a few researchers, who provide services to the long-working, hard-working, underpaid and in many other ways, underserved, occasionally exploited, and more and more, hassled migrant and seasonal farmworkers who harvest and process most of the U.S. produced fruits and vegetables that we eat and take too much for granted in our lives.

This year's keynote speaker will be Mr. John Quinones, ABC correspondent and advocate for Latino immigrants in the US. (See attachments and email below for more details).

So if you have not done so, please read the message below from good friend Rosa Navarro, who pulls these meetings together each year on behalf of the North Carolina Community Health Center Association, get with it, register, and forward this information to other folks who are concerned about the health and safety of these vulnerable farmworkers (http://www.ncchca.org/165228.ihtml).

Many thanks,

Tom Painter

Dear Friends:

As the East Coast Migrant Stream Forum National Contact and Planning Committee Chair, I am working very hard on spreading the word and encouraging advocates to attend the conference. If you are already registered please help me spread the word, if you aren�t�there�s still time!!

The Forum will be held at the Providence Biltmore Hotel in Providence, Rhode Island on October 23-25, 2008. This year�s program will include 30 workshops focusing on programmatic, legislative, outreach, clinical and research topics which will provide an opportunity for participants to enhance their knowledge about healthcare issues, funding opportunities and resources as they relate to Farmworkers along the East Coast. This year, the Forum will also include a well-known keynote speaker, John Qui�ones, ABC Correspondent. Participants will be given opportunities to network with each other and rejuvenate themselves for another year of such passionate work.

The North Carolina Community Health Center Association (NCCHCA) originally created this conference in 1988 and since then it has been duplicated in the Mid-West and Western streams. I have attached the registration form for your convenience but feel to register online via our website at: http://www.ncchca.org/336935.ihtml.

This year promises to be a great event! Take a look at the attached highlights for the conference and for further information about this year�s program click on http://www.ncchca.org/345482.ihtml.
