Reminder: The one-day MDS conference in Tampa is next weekend. Those who want to attend should sign up now (http://www.regonline.com/Checkin.asp?EventId=761790).

The one-day MDS conferences in Cleveland (in May) and Los Angeles (in September) were well-attended and very successful. The Tampa conference is sure to be just as helpful to patients and their families.
