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.

Deb

Thanks Peggy for getting this place for us.

It looks great.

Talk with you soon

Hugs, Karen

We hope to see everyone in the NW, WA & OR.
