CML Society Activities update

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

In a recent communication we highlighted a couple of upcoming activities

that the CML Society is either sponsoring or participating in.

Of special interest is the Light the Night (LTN) event for the Leukemia and

Lymphoma Society (LLS) here in Montreal, where we will have a special tent

for the CML Society. Unfortunately that event is taking place on Rosh

Hashanah and we understand that many of our fellow CMLers of the Jewish

faith

will not be able to participate in this event. The CML Society had

originally intended to hold a Patient Advisory Board meeting on the Saturday

September 23rd to take advantage of the people coming in from out of town

for the LTN event.

While we were told by the LLS that the date of the LTN cannot be changed, we

can postpone the date for our September 23rd meeting, hoping that this will

give the opportunity to all CML patients, their families and loved to

consider participating in this important activity.

We are reviewing additional fall dates with the executive board and will be

confirming with you as soon as possible.

We've had a great response to the Dr. Giles talk in Toronto and Montreal and

we are looking forward to seeing so many of you again.

In the meantime, here in summary are the activities/ events for the CML

Society for September:
