meet some of you from the listservs, as well as the message boards. Even if
you are not able to attend, please do send photos to Ann ASAP.

The Third Tracheostomy.com Pediatric Conference, June 12-14 2008,
Cincinnati, OH.

Hotel: probably the Marriott at the airport - but haven't signed the
contract yet.

Events:
Newport Aquarium - Thursday (6/12/08) for a meet and greet. We have this
place all to ourselves and I hear it's awesome.

For those of you who see Dr. Cotton and his team: I mentioned to Dr. Cotton
that many people will be planning their follow-up bronchs around the
conference dates. I believe they are trying to make sure they can
accommodate those who are doing this -- as far as schedules and OR time. My
advice is to schedule early and mention the conference if you are trying to
combine the two events.

Video -- For every conference, I usually put together a video to play at the
Gala. It is reflective of the parents and children here on the trach board
because, after all, it is the "Tracheostomy.com Pediatric Conference".
Therefore, I'm once again in need of pictures. If you would like to be part
of the video - please email me pictures of you, your children, you and your
children, and you with other members of the trach board. It takes a few
months to put the video together, so please start emailing pictures now.
(schrooten1@...).

This looks to be a fantastic conference and is expected to be well attended.
I look forward to seeing many new faces.
