Welcome new members and info about the RP Foundation

[Guest guest]

I'd like to welcome all the new members to the group. I'm sorry I haven't

done this earlier. Usually I'm not this far behind...

You have found a wonderful means of support for RP and whatever else you wish

to share. We are here for you to vent, laugh, cry or just talk. There are

lots of shoulders here, so don't be shy. Please ask all the questions that

you want..This is how we all learn.

I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself, but I just want the new members to be

aware of the RP Foundation.

We are separate from the support group. It is a non profit Foundation. Our

goal is to make the public and medical professions aware of RP. To promote

education. We would also like to contribute to research of RP. We are

hoping to make a lot of progress with the awareness so that the medical

professions can be more aware and diagnose it early. I think for all of us

the main goal is the ultimate CURE!!!

If you would like to make a contribution, we are asking for a $15 yearly

contribution. This will go towards making brochures, fund raising,

newsletters, postage etc. Please make your check or money order out to " RP

Foundation " and mail to:

We also are in need of volunteers for the commitees. (Fundraising,

newsletter, brochures, etc). Please contact Barbara Angerhofer if you have

an interest in volunteering in any way. You may contact her at:

angerhob@... or either Woods, Heidi Main, Lu , Glenda

McClennen or myself.

For all of you " not so newbie " members in the group who haven't made your

contribution, Please do so now. We all want to get rid of this disease, but

it will take ALL of us to help make it work. Let's not just say.... " It

doesn't matter if I don't contribute.... there are others that will " ... We

need you ALL. I'm sure we can find a place for you to help out... Just let

us know.

Sorry for the rambling... but you know I have to " Nag " every once in a while.

hugs
