Ok people`s I`ve been getting alot of mail and question about the Convention.
The convention will happen. There`s NO if`s an`s or but`s about it.
The NPO=Non-profit Org. This will also help all of us. . First it`s getting all the goverment stuff done. Then setting up the Organization. This well be voting in Pres. Vice pres. Secretary`s,treasurer, New`s letter which everone could help on. Any an all idea`s . Fund raiser`s. Educating and resarch for CH etc etc.......
I know this seem`s like we got side tracked from the convention itself. It will still happen. It just might take a little longer than first planned.
Also when I first post about the convention I had asked to get around about # on how many will or want to attened an where to have it. Well the # people is up to at least 5o last count. I still have more people asking me about it daily. As I said I want to get as many of us thier as possbale. Not just the suffer`s but loved one`s or people that live with or know a loved one that suffer`s from CH. As they are just as important to all us CH suffer`s This was why we got on the NPO. The places that people agreed on was split right down the middle with Chicargo an Las Vegas. My person pick would be LA. Not for the gambling or the bright light`s (Seeing 3/4 of us cant handle the light anyway) but for the cheap rate`s that are offered worldwide.
We have also been thinking about guess speaker`s. Now this one`s a little tricky. We can get guess speaker`s this is know problem. The problem that has came up most of the speaker`s want us to come to them instead of them coming to us.
So as you can see we have done a big turn around.
Even though I love the idea about starting a NPO for all us that suffer.
The convention, at least the first one maybe we should not even have guess speaker`s. OK OK Stop booing me. Hear me out. I was just wanting to get us togeather to meet one another. Hell we all know about CH. Where the one`s teaching the doc`s. I just would love to put a face to people that or on the board. Give ya all a big group hug. So on an so forth
Maybe we should. Still have a convention or a get togeather here at the end of summer.
We still need the NPO. But this should not put a hold on seeing each other. It will how ever put a hold on how many people will beable to attened.
I hope this is makeing since. There both differnt thing`s, BUT they are the same. One will help the other and so on.
I really hope I helped explain what is going on and did not confuss everyone.
I think that about sum`s the whole thing up. Now I`ll be in an out most of this weekened. I will try to pop in and answer any question`s I can. You can also ask Barbara D. Jas. drummer. lcbob Margi. DJ. Carl D. I`m sure I`m forgetting someone that could help you.
You all have a GREAT weekened.
Hope it`s PAIN FREE
Hug`s Linda B
