Make Plans to Join Us for the 2006
National Conference in Minnesota – SAVE THE DATE!
Minneapolis
is one of America's great cities. And when people think
of Minneapolis national landmarks like The Mall of America,
the Minnesota Institute of Arts and the Homer Dome (home
of the Minnesota Twins) come to mind. But in 2006 a
one-time only event is coming to town—one we hope
you will plan to attend on July 29 and 30.
This
great, one-time only event is the Scleroderma Foundation
National Conference. Planning is well underway for the
conference. We would like to share with you a tentative
list of workshops we’re planning. This list may
change a bit as we confirm presenters and speakers.
Once we have finalized the workshop schedules and
registration information we will post them online, in
the electronic newsletter and in the upcoming issue
of the "Scleroderma Voice," which will come
out in June.

- Scleroderma 101
