Hi Everyone,

I’m excited to send out the weekend agenda and

registration form for our 2008 conference for PSCers and caregivers to be held

May 2-4, 2008 at the Mayo Clinic in ville. We have a fantastic

weekend planned, and we hope that many of you will be able to attend! Please

note that, for the first time, we have planned some pre-conference activities,

so that you’ll have time to get to know each other before the conference

starts. Tim Wholey and Joanne Grieme are working hard to make the golf tournament

a success, so please join us either on the golf tournament or the boat trip.

The reputation of the Mayo Clinic is well known, but here

are some other highlights:

-Dr.

Greg Gores of Mayo/Rochester is our keynote speaker.

-We

have a research segment with an update about present and future PSC research.

Our speakers are:

-Our

own brilliant Dave giving his thoughts on Vitamin A, IBD and PSC

-Dr.

Dennis Black discussing the progress of the STOPSC project, which we support

-Dr.

Tom Karlsen, our AASLD award winner, who is coming from Norway to speak to us

about his

research project, and also about the new Norwegian PSC research center being

established,

thanks

to the recent generous donation by Mr. Stein Hagen. There is hope for a

cure!

-Saturday

lunchtime breakout groups with a physician

For those of you who haven’t attended past

conferences, please know that these weekends are very energizing. The

combination of listening to presentations on all aspects of PSC plus time to socialize

with other PSCers and caregivers is an uplifting experience. Please think

about attending the conference! If you have any questions, please contact

me at pscpartners@... or at thesafers@... .

Happy Holidays to everyone and a very healthy and happy new

year!

Ricky,

I must say the 2008 agenda looks very impressive! I was planning on attending this year, even if they had to wheel me in on a gurney, but now I'm completely psyched about it (not to be confused with psycho). :0)

Kudos to all who worked to put this together!

Hi ,

I’m glad that you’re completely psyched about the 2008 agenda

and that you’re planning to join us, no matter what! It should be a fabulous

weekend for all of us. I’ve been working with Dr. Harnois at Mayo to

get this all set up, and she has been a fantastic help. Happy Holidays!

Hi Ali,

Yes, the Post Transplant PSCers will have a lunch break out

session (with a physician) on Saturday, and they’ll also get together for most

of Sunday morning. There will be lots of time to discuss concerns, experiences,

etc.

Hi Ricky,

Will there be any refund at the last minute I'm not well enough to travel? I've had a very rough several weeks where I wouldn't have been able to travel if I'd been scheduled to go. I will get travel insurance for the air fare, but what about for the conference fees?

Thanks, Marie
