Hot off the presses from the NAF

We received the following email from the National Ataxia Foundation (NAF):

The National Ataxia Foundation is pleased to announce that many of the power point presentations given at the 2009 NAF Annual Membership Meeting are now available on the Foundation's web site, www.ataxia.org.

The 52nd NAF Annual Membership Meeting, "Climb Every Mountain," was co-hosted by the Seattle Area Ataxia Support Group and the British Columbia Ataxia Society. The meeting was held on March 20 - 22, 2009 and people from around the United States and attendees as far away as Australia and Hong Kong attended the meeting.Ride Ataxia Logo

On Thursday, March 19, 2009 seventy cyclists from Ride Ataxia III arrived at the NAF Annual Membership Meeting. They began their journey four days earlier in Portland, Oregon and rode their bikes through rain and cold to help raise ataxia awareness and funds to support important ataxia research.

Friday, March 20, 2009 began with General Session speakers in the morning and "Birds of a Feather" sessions in the afternoon, followed by a Friday night reception. Saturday General Sessions continued throughout the day and ended with the traditional Saturday night banquet. Sunday continued with General Session speakers and concluded in the early afternoon.
The National Ataxia Foundation wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Seattle Area Ataxia Support Group and the British Colombia Ataxia Society, all the knowledgeable speakers and presenters, our wonderful volunteers, our generous donors and sponsors, exhibitors, the Doubletree Hotel, the City of SeaTac, and especially all who registered to attend this important meeting. Thank you!
