THE CARCINOID AWARENESS NETWORK (CCAN) IS GOING TO HELP WITH REGISTRATION AND WILL HELP US PROVIDE THE DAY TO DAY WORKER BEES TO MAN THE REGISTRATION DESKS ETC. ANYONE ONE WHO KNOWS THESE FOLKS KNOW THAT THIS WILL MEAN THAT EVERYTHING WILL RUN SMOOTHLY. We are in the process of contacting corporate sponsors to help make this conference happen. Again -- (like the last time) breakfast and lunch on Friday and Saturday and the munchies at the Thursday evening mixer will be part of the registration cost (TBA). You will be on your own for dinner on Thursday (if you are still hungry - after the social event --- but if you were here last time I think that you won't be hungry) and will be on your own on Friday and Saturday for dinner. We will have to guarantee the A-C-Plaza 200 room nights on Thursday and Friday and Saturday and we will limit registration to the first 500 folks who sign up. As you know the Portland and Norfolk conferences had waiting lists so don't be a "I SHOULD OF "--- PERSON. Stay tuned for specific meeting registration information and how to sign up for room registration at the Astor Crowne Plaza. Let's all take a moment to thank the folks who are helping us do this --- the Kenner Ochsner team and the CCAN team!!! More "thank ya'alls" will be coming as I enlist more sponsors. Put this on your schedule RIGHT now---you will forget this if you = don't do it now!!!! Please pass this along to all of your support groups, on line groups (yahoo – ACOR - etc) and tell your docs and their staffs. While this is not a CME conference ---- it is perfect for the doc or office staff who wants to learn about NETS so that they can take better care OF YOU!!!!! PLUS IT IS IN NEW ORLEANS -- the most fun city in the world ----- smile -- unlike Las Vegas -- what happens in New Orleans remains buried in the swamp ---- FOREVER!

Since my husband "retired" I am away from my computer for days, and sometimes, weeks at a time. Yes, there is wireless internet and we have tried that a number of places. But, if I deal with email when we are away from home then it is not a "restful vacation" for me. PLEASE use the SEARCH capability at the top my pages. You may search for a word, a phrase, a drug, a treatment, a book title or anything you can think of. You may search this site only, or search the complete World Wide Web.
