United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

To start off Awareness Week, Helping Hands Greater Northwest BPI Support Group will gather at Owen Beach (Point Defiance Park) on October 19th.

We have the spot from dawn 'til dusk (if we so desire), but I'm thinking from about noon to 4:00 p.m.

We'll be doing a potluck, so if you could please respond and let us know what you want to bring, that would be great! Feel free to contact me: pferg@wavecable.com or Julia Aten: julia120589@yahoo.com

We will also have a live band, The Backwoods Windjammers, to play for our entertainment.

This is what I received from the contact person from Metro Parks today; she's been a real angel! :

Peggy,
What you are doing sounds so special and I am here to help you make this a memorable time. What I am going to do for you is only charge you a $100.00 refundable damage deposit and wave the application fee. I hope this will help. Owen Beach will be a perfect location for what you are planning. There are restrooms at Owen Beach which will be open and there is power for your use in the shelter.

Looks like we'll have descent weather --a little chilly, but at least it won't be raining

I'll try to make it there! I really want to meet everyone.

It would be wonderful if you can make it. We'll be there

Thanks for the emails. I haven't had as much time to get to the message boards as I would have liked this week. It's been a very hard, long week and the weekend is very full, but we are looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday to start off Awareness Week!

Okay, the day is upon us.
I'm happy to know that more people are coming out to join us!

Just wanted to say, while it's not raining, it is going to probably be a bit chilly today, especially since we will be by the water, so dress in layers. The sun may come out and warm us for a bit, but who knows!

See you all later

Peggy
