thereishope Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) I am seriously thinking of trying to find a way for parents to get together for a luncheon, but I have no idea how many would actually be interested in attending.I was thinking Indianapolis, IN. I was thinking this may be of interest of people in IN, IL, OH, KY, and more. I'm from Ohio but I know not many are in my area and I would like to make this more accessible. I don't have a date and even if I can swing this it may not even be until 2012 due to planning, getting some funding (as the ideal would be a complimentary lunch) and availability of locations. I know I would want a Saturday, maybe something from 1-4pm so people have extra time to drive back hom if it's a further drive to avoid staying overnight. So, this is not a RSVP or anything but just so I can at least have a ballpark number of people interested. I hate to think 10 or 25 and then get 50 saying they wish they could attend. If you may be interested, please mark the poll. If you don't pop on here often and you'd like me to take note of a contact for you, like an email, feel free to message me the info or email me at pandasparent@gmail.com. I would only use the email to contact you if plans are actually made and for no ther reason. EDIT 8/4: This would be parent only. Unfortunately, funding would not be sufficient to pay for travel, lodging for doctors or researchers to speak.

nicklemama Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Don't forget you'd attract those of us from Michigan, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thereishope Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 What's the estimate number of parents in the area? I'm trying to see how much funds would be needed and, obviously, that's based on the number of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicklemama Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 We've got about 20 members on our MI PANDAS support board. Not all would be able to attend, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
