GREAT NEWS!!!!

I have secured sponsorship with Trinity Medical Center (part of the Iowa Health System) through the Medical Education department! I have the Jardine Center at Trinity West Campus, Rock Island, IL reserved for the first three Saturdays in August. Once I have secured a main speaker (Dr. Yaseen, Pediatric Gastroenterologist), I will decide which date we will have the meeting and then invite the other speakers. I'm hoping for one of the first two weekends in August. I'm also planning to get some advertising from Trinity. I'm SO EXCITED! I'm glad there has been a significant interest from the HMDSN group and I cannot wait to spread the news around here throughout Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois! Right now, I'm thinking we'll have a casual meet & greet on Friday evening as people arrive in the Quad Cities and then have the official meeting on Saturday! Heather has suggested reserving a block of hotel rooms and I plan to do so as we get closer to the date...great idea by the way! Please forward this to any families or friends who may be interested in attending the meeting. Once plans are set, I will post an RSVP system of some sort so I can start getting a more accurate count.
SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the blog. It's nice to see a pic of you now. My 11 month old son has HD and, fortunately is doing quite well (thanks to Dr. Levitt of cincinatti children's hospital).

    Is this location not far from a major airport? I don't know about back east but many families with school age kids out west start back up in school mid August, just something to keep in mind when making plans.

    Hello everyone! I'm glad you like the blog! Yes, we have the Quad City Airport in Moline, IL. I will post a link to the airport. I'm hoping for the first Saturday in August, but the second Saturday is my second choice. I'm going to see when the docs (speakers) are available and base the date off of that.
