HELP NEEDED FOR NATIONALS:

Ohio Heartlander Members,  

I talked with Diane Rimar at the regional about registration for the Detroit Little People of America National Conference.  Diane asked me to talk with members in our chapter to see if they would be willing to help out.  There are spaces open for volunteers every day from 9:00-5:00, Friday June 20th through Thursday June 26th.  Diane is scheduling in 2,3 and 4 hour increments.   If you can work any of these days let me know via e-mail or by phone (517) 486-3241 and I will pass it on to Diane.  Thank you,  Judy

From the "Little Hoosiers" Chapter

Saturday, November 8 - Medical Conference Fundraiser Dinner/Dance - Fort Wayne, IN
 
The LPA Little Hoosiers Fundraising Dinner/Dance is scheudled for Saturday, November 8, in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  It is being held to help LPA raise funds to bring all types of medical professionals to our successful 2009 Medical Conference.  It has been scheduled, and is supported by District 5 in order to obtain sufficient funds to host an LPA Midwest Medical Conference in October, 2009.  Many more LPA Medical Advisory Board members will be in attendance for our 2nd conference.   We will have over 20 medical professionals attending our October 16-17, 2009 Medical Conference! 
 
FIRST OF ALL, please note that there will be NO SELLING of the fundraiser tickets at the door on the day of the actual dance All tickets will be sold on a presale basis only.  It is very important to get your tickets early as they will be offered to the LPA membership first, then to the Fort Wayne community to help support this function.  There have been numerous emails and newsletters quoting a pre-determined price for the admission ticket.  The ticket price has been confirmed at selling at $25 per person.  It includes basic admission to the dance and includes the sit-down meal.  A cash bar is being offered throughout the evening to all attending.  An Italian buffet will be provided by one of the most prominent, delicious-tasting and highly service-oriented restaurants of the Fort Wayne metropolitan area.  They have 5 restaurants in the Fort Wayne area, are family-owned and have been in business for over 30 years!
 
For any of you that wish to purchase admission tickets for the dance, it is important to get your tickets very early.  Tickets will be on sale at the Cincinnati spring regional this weekend and also, at the Detroit national convention.   If you are wishing to purchase tickets, please email me @ childheart@verizon.net or call me in the evenings at 260-483-5959.  We plan to take email orders of tickets and once mailing address is given, you can mail a personal check made out to LPA and we will in return, mail you the designated amount of tickets purchased.   Please do not wait too long to purchase tickets to this great, well-supported event!
