I most likely will be working there. If not working, then visiting on Friday and/or Saturday.

I will also be working the Chicago Expo and tentative for Detroit and Santa Clara.

I attended the one in 2002, and it was well worth the trip. I would encourage as many people as possible to attend. The different products and services being developed every year for sci and other disabled people are mind-blowing.

However, the best part of the trip was meeting so many CareCure people. I'll never forget that. My only disappointment was that Wise couldn't make it. Wise, if you'll be there, I just might go.

I will go on Friday in the late morning. I'll be the one in the chair

Hey Martha..what if I go???

I think it would be awsome to get to meet some of you folks. And Dr Young. I was hoping to get to go and see some of the lectures also. Theres no way I can go all day then drive home, any suggestions for a hotel? Anyone know the area?

Patrick, the New Jersey people will certainly know more than I do, but I stayed at the Sheraton. From what I recall there were a few good hotels in the area, but none w/in "walking" distance to the convention center. Luckily Mary had her car.

I flew into Newark, NJ, and took the train to Edison, then a cab to the hotel. I hope you can make it. Meeting the people was the highlight of the trip.

me and jack are going. hopefully he will be driving up there. maybe someone knows of a hotel close by and all the cc people could stay there instead of the hosting hotel? i am really looking forward to it, i have wanted to go for years but never had anyone to venture with me.

would it be possible for care cure to have a small booth set up? it would really get the word out about the site. maybe have it "staffed" by care cure members who are already going to be there. i got many ideas if we can do it. if we really wanna get into it maybe a little simple fundraiser, like selling bottled water or pop and a bake sale?

anyone up for doing some advertising, we could get care cure t-shirts made. i know a place where i can get them done for $7.

ok i am done brainstorming, is this even a possibility?
