Excuse the the pun: Sounds good.
I'll get Paul to follow up on getting a raffle prize - hopefully an air balloon trip or a weekend at Mungalli Falls.
Thank you Megan and Paul.
Our Atherton Tableland and Cairns Dystonia Support Group is a not for profit group.
We are seeking further financial support. Our aim is to cover all costs so we are able to offer the Movement Disorders Symposium attendance free rather than on a cost recovery basis.
It is very exciting for us to be able to offer this event in the Far North. The venue, including accommodation for guest speakers from the South, is booked. We are committed to presenting this quality movement disorder information promotional and educational symposium right here in Cairns.
Mark the date, April 16 2008 commencing at 6.30PM, in your diary.
Watch this blogspot for more information as the weeks draw closer to the event. We have some delightful surprises for those who attend.
