Title: Convention for CH Sufferers
Post by catlind on Jun 1st, 2003, 9:10am
Okay folks, the convention is a go for July 18, 19 and 20th.  ( see post below for details)

If you plan on coming, are even hoping to come but can't make the registration yet, BE SURE TO EMAIL ME.

All attendees will be welcome to the convention but if you wait to register late, it will a) cost you more in registration fees, ($100) and b) you will not be guaranteed a room.

Rooms are still available for anyone wishing to attend, and I plan to negotiate rooms in sets of 5 up until the date of the convention.  

We currently have 34 registered for the convention.  If you think you may want to try to attend, email me and do everything possible to get there, you won't regret it :)

As it stands right now, the convention is moving along very smoothly.  Dr. Bigal and Lori Choyce RN  from the New England Center for Headache, Dr. Sanderson from the local ER (have to double check with her for confirmation) and a local crisis counsellor to tell us what can be done when we hit that final wall.  I am also looking into getting some local pharmacy reps to come - Merck, Pfizer are the hopefuls at this time, as well as a pharmacist (maybe).  

Here's the menu for the weekend:
Saturday during the day there will be coffee, tea, soda, donuts and pastries during the speaking engagements.
The banquet Sat. night will be:
BBQ chicken or pork chops, Italian Sausage, Hofmann hot doggs and beef burgers with all the fixins, sauteed peppers, and onions, corn on the cob, baked beans, two fresh salads (potato and green with one more being added I think) fresh fruit, coffee or tea, and our very own bar waitress.

Friday night we will have a hospitality room set up where you will receive your OUCH goodie bag and can mix and mingle and meet the other guests.  Cocktails will be available in the next room. (we can't supply our own alcohol, it's against the liquor license laws in NY, so we have to buy from the bar, but we should be getting a discount if you wear an OUCH badge).

We have lots of goodies set up for door prizes and awards, but you'll just have to show up to see what those are  

Of course I'm still taking any donations for those items  

Ummm I think that's about it, so if anyone has any questions please feel free to email me  

Oh yeah, there are no cottages left, they are all taken now.

And that's the update for the convention :)

Cat,

Do we get some kind of confirmation our registration has been received?

Thanks,

KOP,

Look on the convention page - there is a link where you can see who is listed as registered/participating.  
http://www.clusterheadaches.org/conventions/2003/attendees.htm

It is being updated periodically, however, if you registered a while back, you may want to follow up on this.

King, got your registration :)

No confirmations needed unless folks want to email me and ask.  All rooms are booked and set up for everyone.  Pay at the end :)  Just show up and say your name and you'll get a key.

As a side note, anyone still wanting to attend can still sign up.  Rooms are still available and they don't think we will have any trouble booking rooms for anyone who wants to attend and registers late.

(+ any others of course)

The UK convention is on Sunday week. If you have that list of questions you wanted us to fire at Prof Goadsby you have a week to get them to us.

Love
