Be safe, and thanks for what you are doing.

Are you going to a Congressional hearing? If so, will it be on C-Span?

I don't know Victor...I think the Public Policy Conference we are attending on May 7th is on C-Span ... if it is I will find out on Tuesday at the registration briefing and let everyone know.

(what are you wearing?)
I bought this cute black cocktail dress...

and of course, I have my RED Pendleton Blazer to wear...


Remember the let's dress FlyGirl thread from last year when I went to DC to be on the FDA Panel...LOL!

I think it still fits...not too big

I intend to have fun...but I also have business to do too...there are some very good issues that we as PwMS want our legislators to pay attention to. One very important issue is the $$ for research. The precedent has been set and we just want them to share the wealth.

The other issue is to Eliminate the 24-Month Medicare Waiting Period for People with Disabilities

OMG! And I thought we had it bad with a 12 month waiting period.

Enjoy the social bits FG, and thank you from MSers everywhere for what you're doing for Multiple Sclerosis.

You GO girl! I'm really proud of you for doing this. Won't the RED blazer clash w/the ORANGE shirt??

You make us proud! Thank you for what you are doing? I think you should chain yourself to the Capitol steps. *60's flashback*

Enjoy your visit w/Greta and have a very Happy Birthday. You deserve a lil fun!

Holy Crap. I just realized that I'm going to have to go out and buy something nice to wear.

I have been meaning to buy those black birkenstocks with rhinestones on the buckles.....

Edited to add: seriously, how fancy are we talking. Little black cocktail dress, or do I need to borrow FFM's grape ape bridesmaid dress?

The dress is business casual...I just saw this dress and decided to buy it...remember I have lost about 25 pounds and have NOTHING that fits!!!

Slacks and a shirt are fine...whatever you would wear to a business meeting is just fine Greta-ta-ta....

NO NOT THE GRAPE APE dress....

Cheryl,

Two things to consider:
(1) Your airline (pick a good one)
(2) Your clothing (red is not always best)
