-Include information at bottom of postingAS I AM TOO TIRED TO THINK RIGHT NOW I COPIED AN PASTE WHAT OTHER WROTE...
Would it be possible to get a guest speaker like Dr. Li, Dr.Dement, Dr. Powel, or Dr.Guilleminault? AND OTHER Superstars.
I see this as a great fun "networking meeting" as well as a potential as an information session for "newbies"...and may hopefully develop into a loose-knit support network of sorts as well.
In addition, it would be nice to have time to socialize and talk about the longer term effects on people's lives.
Maybe a master contact list of everyone attending.
