Re: 9 years......to - Conference Scholarships

[Guest guest]

Crystal,

There is another source of help for those attending their *first*

conference. The Foundation has the Lee E. Norbury Memorial Scholarships

which are given to families attending their first International CHARGE

Syndrome Conference. The scholarship covers the cost of registration and

hotel. Registration covers the 6 group meals during the 2-1/2 days

conference. Families are responsible for their travel expenses and any

additional meals, etc. 20 families benefited from the scholarship

program this year. The number we can help in 2007 will depend on the

funds available.

We will have an application in the Fall 2006 newsletter, CHARGE

Accounts. So to be sure you get the application when it is available,

families are encouraged to keep their membership current.

And a reminder to all our members on the CHARGE List: It's time to renew

your membership now!

Happy New Year to all! May it be the best one ever for you and your family!
