SPREAD THE WORD - Siblings step up to care for each other

This is from Appleton WI.

I thought you'd be interested in this article in today's Post-Crescent. (go to link  below)  The story of  these siblings is truly inspiring.

NEW DEVELOPMENT!  You'll note that the article states that Rachel Simon will be the keynote speaker at the conference.  Our original speaker, Garth Stein, contacted us on Friday and has a very serious illness.  His doctor would not allow him to  travel.  With some quick work and a lot of luck, we were able to secure  Rachel Simon to substitute.

This is an incredible opportunity!  Rachel Simon is the author of the remarkable book, "Riding the Bus with My Sister" which was made into a Hallmark movie in 2005 starring Andie MacDowell (as Rachel) and Rosie
O'Donnell as her sister, Beth.  You can learn more by going to www.rachelsimon.com

We are still taking registrations for either the all-day conference or the lunch-hour session at which Simon will be making her presentation.  Full day - $75 for siblings/ $105 for professionals  --  Lunch-hour session $25 (includes lunch) for all.  You may reply to this email or call Sally Randa at 993-0882.

Please help us spread the word about Rachel Simon coming to this conference. Siblings, parents, professionals, care providers and others will want to take advantage of this opportunity.  Thank you!
