Conference Dates and Upcoming Fundraisers

The NWRSF conference is to be held in Federal Way, WA (a suburb south of Seattle) from July 31 to August 3, 2008. The keynote speaker will be Kathy Hunter, the founder of IRSA. We have many other speakers and topics lined up, as well.

Once we have a completed contract with the hotel and have negotiated room rates, we will post registration information on the site. As we complete the conference schedule, we will post this, as well.

We will be having two major fundraisers prior to our conference, so save the dates. The first will be an Indian dance and dinner event on May 3rd at the Tuality Hospital Center in Hillsboro, OR. Dr. Budden is sponsoring the evening, and it promises to be an exciting event. Again, we will post more details as the event gets closer.

Our other event will be a golf outing on July 12th at the prestigious Elkhorn Golf Club near Salem, OR. Tom Snyder and Joey Razzano have worked hard to put together a special event, and we hope to see you all there.

Hello all, we are the Farnums and have just joined the "Northwest Rett Club" with our 3 yr old daughter Ella's diagnosis this past December. We have been fortunate to have seen Dr. Budden last month and were very happy to get some more information from one of the best sources out there. We also have a great team of PT, OT and Speech therapists in place so we feel good on that front as well. We are also striving towards a few fundraiser this summer. You can check them out on our website for El, www.believe-in-me.org

We are hoping to meet everyone in the NWRSF soon. Unfortunately we will not be able to make the conference in Federal Way in August, but hopefully the next one.

Is there anything "formal" we need to do to join NWRSF? Any paperwork?

Thanks for all your support in advance.
