Latest edition of Notes

[leapyrtwins]

I got my latest edition of Notes on Friday - which was record time compared to the last issue.  WOO HOO! 

I thought it was a great issue - as always.  In addition to mentioning our incredible forum moderators - as someone (I think it was Ernie) already pointed out - I really liked the local support group meeting recap from 2008.  I really enjoyed seeing what the groups' meeting topics were and how many people attended each meeting.  I also thought it was great to see that a few of our very own forumites are involved in leadership roles (specifically Brendalu in Houston and DHM in Portland).  Kudos to both Brendalu and DHM    Did I miss anyone?

The article on the cover page by Dr. Michael Link was very informative and interesting and I was glad to see someone address the issue of surgery followed by radiation - something we've talked about on the forum in the past. 

And best of all, I noticed that the early bird registration fee for the symposium has been extended to May 1st.  I hope that encourages more and more people to sign up.  I'm really looking forward to meeting lots of you guys.

The web site says that Early Bird registration is until May 15th - I only noticed this and point it out because I'm still waiting on word about a family trip on whether or not we are going to make it!  I was glad the date had been extended & need it to be as late as possible!

Great to point out about Support Group Leaders - way to go Brenda and DHM - if there were a group here, I would definitely be involved!

Right you are, Kaybo.

Thanks for pointing that out

thanks Jan for sharing this! I read the article closely as well (surgery, then radio... where is our in-house expert, Jim, on that? )

I had noted to our Boston ANA support group leader about also doing a support group update for Notes... she shyed from it, noting she's not a writer.... the Boston meetings have gone well (elliemae, kbonner and others here can attest, as well as myself...) and hoping we are featured soon as well.  MAJOR kudos to the "other Pug" lady  and to my dear dazy-hazy-mazy  for their energies and efforts to help bring AN'er together in their communities!

I enjoy reading the letters to the editor... I never know who may crop up on those... hmmmmmm...... and nice to hear AN'ers sharing their questions/insight/experiences in the letters.  Hmmmm... much like here on the forums!

Phyl:

I commented on that article on March 20th, here: http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=9008.0.  The thread received only one reply, then was pushed back by the heavy traffic on this forum and eventually ended up in limbo.  Frankly, I was pleased to see the surgery/radiation approach addressed in the ANA newsletter.
