Hi Eileen,

Whilst we're trying to keep this "light" and not too intense, it's natural to maybe want to cover some of the nagging subjects. Thing to remember is this is actually a gathering of posters on the OCF board done independently of the actual Oral Cancer Foundation itself. Brian is planning on attending of course, but other than giving permission to use the BB to promote the event, giving ideas for activities and helping to get items for auction, he's not officialy sponsoring the event so to speak.

At this point we hadn't planned any formal lecturers, breakout sessions, etc. We can put some things together, as far as separate group sessions as far as garegivers separate from survivors/patients, but I don't know that we'll have any trained moderators on hand.

We'll put some though into this. Appreciate the suggestion, I would like attendees to have a nice positive experience.

Bob
