The Governor's Conference on Parkinson's: Raising the Flag on Parkinson's is an annual educational symposium for Parkinson's patients, families and caregivers, especially Parkinson's Disease professionals such as physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and occupational and physical therapists. Featured speakers will include both current and former Washington governors Christine Gregoire, Booth Gardner, Gary Locke and Daniel J. Evans as well as national and regional Parkinson's experts including The Northwest Parkinson's Foundation, The American Parkinson's Disease Association (APDA), Information & Referral Center, and Washington State Chapter APDA as well as medical staff from the Booth Gardner Parkinson's Care Center (BGPCC), the University of Washington and the Veteran's Administration Hospital.

I've been looking for an excuse to make a trip to Seattle. I have about the amount of a ticket and hotel left from my $1107 dividend from the state and don't want any moss growing on it just sitting in my bank account

Thanks Carolyn!!
