The following message was sent to the National Parkinson's Foundation by
Sherrie Randall for David Look. It summarizes the symposium that took
place here in Rochester, N.Y. on Saturday March 15. Since this message
was sent out, we learned that Governor Pataki had not made the
proclamation. We are still working to get him to do so. The message also
states that our County Executive and City Mayor issued a joint
proclamation declaring April as Parkinson's Awareness Month. Hopefully
the Governor will follow their lead. All support groups should work on
getting their local governments to make the proclamation as well as
their state governments.
John and Donna Testa

A great up=-state wintry 20 degree morning  greeted over 200
participants in the PSGUNY/MIND unit-UR collaboration at the Academy of
Medicine yesterday in  Rochester, NY.  A bus from the Utica/Rome area
as well as a van from Binghamton NY brought people together who had only
met via email.  Interesting and informative talks were given by the
m.d.'s.  Other important work took place as well.  Nearly everyone
signed letters urging their Congresspeople to support the Udall bill and
thanking Sens. Moynihan and D'Amato for their willingness to do so. Joan
Mueller was there from D'Amato's office so we got to convey our thanks
to her.  A joint proclamation was read from the mayor and the county
executive's offices declaring April Parkinson's Awareness Month!   We
also heard via the toronto list serve late last night Pitaki was
following suit!(No confirmaation on this at this time).  PSGUNY is proud
to be part of the effort for awareness, education and support.  It feels
like the PD train has been refurbished with a high speed  engine and the
momentum is gathering at break-neck speed.   We in Rochester say it's
time!   We're silent no more!  That's all for now.
