 A special thanks to Marie and her staff for arranging a great meeting place for each and every month and for providing beverages, great food, friends and knowledgeable experts as well!

¨ There are still plenty of t-shirts available; leading to a possible second pool-tournament.

¨ Write your Congressman regarding the bill to modify state regs per HD and access to government benefits. I believe I heard 91 cosponsors for the bill!

¨ Need advocates for 3/18/10 training in Washington D.C.

¨ We also require volunteers to notify people for meetings…I’m thinking this may include calling those with no web access as well as local publications.

¨ Road to being a chapter; benefits are huge.

¨ Thoughts on meetings for caregivers…?

¨ Thoughts on speakers who may know CPR?

¨ June convention in Raleigh, NC be there or be square..

¨ Final thoughts ... Part of the United Way! Walking or crafting to raise funds..what do you think?
