who naturally won the contest to " Meet-Up

with each other and Carla Dionne.

I'm so happy & darn proud of NYC that

I'm sending $100 today to support " the Party " ,

oops, I mean the 6/19/04 NYC Meet-Up!

I wish it could be a $1,000 or more.

I would also invite anyone else who can pitch in

a donation--small medium or big to support the NYC

6/19/04 Meet-Up. I'm making my check out/sending it

to:

National Uterine Fibroids Foundation

P.O. Box 9688

Colorado Springs, CO 80932-0688

Donations can also be made online via

the Donate button at the top of the

www.NUFF.org

If there is a possibility that ABC's 20/20

includes the NYC Meet-Up in a future

segment on Women & Uterine Fibroids,

women across the country can contact

their local ABC affiliates and ask them

to do a local story. One Meet-Up generates

the potential of more " women with fibroids " stories across

the nation. Also, check out your local

ABC TV affiliate's Health Section of their

online website. Many of them are

outstanding and could archive a story

that women could later access.

We love you NYC LOL's!!!!

Please let us know how it goes so

we can plan other Meet-Ups across the USA,

provide support, info, & networking--and

then invite the local ABC affiliate, to

join us for an info session..with a

reference to ABC's 20/20--one of the best

Shows that I don't miss...

Hey Pat---see what you started?

Cheers everyone!!

Where do you book for your group in NYC. I have

another web based support group that would like to get

together for the first time in the Fall of 2004.

Looking for ideas for good hotel rates. This group is

a patients forum for an unrelated health topic. We are

very excited about meeting, but are very new to the

planning for a group of about 30 people as well so

far.

Would you be you willing to help us get started?

Please E-mail if interested. thanks

Hi ,

Congratulations to all of you

who plan to get together in NYC

this fall!

I could offer a couple of suggestions:

Are there any reasonable

Event Planners in NYC, especially

familiar with hotels, transportation,

restaurants you could contact?

Is your group working with

a particular medical specialty/doctors

in the NYC area? Perhaps their particular

dept may be able to coordinate with

the hospital to host you in one of

their conference rooms/provide suggestions

for hotels, transportaion, restaurants

nearby. Possibly, depending on the

medical condition, the specialists/hospital might

be amenable to sponsoring your group &

doing a Public Relations campaign to

get the word out.

Same as above for a University Hospital

or a University with a medical school doing

research on your health condition

that might be willing to provide a venue

for the meeting, help with PR and work

with your group to do a couple of press

releases on the topic.

If you are more interested in remaining

independent & meeting as patients, there is the Meet-Ups option

that list member Pat Boersma introduced

on uterinefibroids.

Do you have any good ideas for fund-raising,

grant writing and any other way to support

women who wish to meet? Let us know!!

This is so important but probably considered

off-topic / but I don't want to take this

off the groups because more expertise may

be out there / then maybe we could all go

to a designated date/time on this groups chat link

or email?

Anyone else...help!

Best wishes to all of you and your groups progress!
