CT Connection

[Guest guest]

All are invited to attend our next PLS/HSP gathering of the CT Connection on

June 26, 2004. We'll be meeting at an area restaurant in Wethersfield, CT.

We have a wonderful keynote speaker, Armand Legault, who spent 33 years as a

state tax auditor and now gives tax seminars for people with disabilities,

certified public accountants and other tax preparers. You may have read his

article, " Take It All Off " in a recent MDA Quest issue. Armand has SMA (spinal

muscular atrophy) and is a winner of the MDA's Personal Achievement Award. The

focus of his presentation will be about using the tax " loopholes " , PCA

(personal care attendants) programs, and a wealth of knowledge in available

services and products with little or no cost. A question and answer format will

follow his opening remarks.

Kasinskas, a physical therapist who specializes in neurological disorders,

will also be with us again. Some of you know from past meetings. Her

advice and expertise is invaluable. She's very approachable and helpful in

solving a myriad of the challenges we face.

A $25 fee, payable to me prior to June 19 includes the meeting, welcoming coffee

hour, lunch and handouts. A group rate hotel accommodation for Friday and/or

Saturday nights is available at the Ramada Inn in Wethersfield for $79 per night

for a double room and includes continental breakfast of juice, coffee, and

pastries. You may make your own reservations at 1-. Handicapped and

non-smoking rooms are available. Mention " PLS group " , " CT Connection " , or my

name " Dolores Carron " to get the group discounted rate. Hotel reservations

should be made before June 11.

Anyone arriving on Friday can dine in one of the many restaurants near the hotel

or we can do a group meal depending upon interest.

June 26 is the weekend of the Chicago gathering. If you're not going there, but

are looking for a fun and informative alternative, please consider joining us.

Whether you're renewing old acquaintances, or making new friends, you won't be

disappointed.

Please contact me at d.carron@... if you'd like to join us. I'll

send a registration form, directions, and meal choices to you individually.
