    Our new President, Peter Filocamo, has asked me to officially post the conference information. In a few days it will be possible to register online through the Graves’ Disease Foundation website, so please check in early next week to register early.

    This is from Peter:

    “I am pleased to announce that the Graves’ Disease Foundation 2008 National Conference will be held October 17-19 (Friday thru Sunday), at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa, San Diego, CA.

    The Sheraton Carlsbad Resort is a brand new hotel, and the Foundation has negotiated an unbelievable low group rate of $149 @ night for attendees. http://www.Sheraton.com/Carlsbad.com.

    The Conference will provide information & help to Graves’ patients, plus a chance to reconnect with friends and meet others. The hotel is near the beach, close to a golf course, and it is next store to “LEGOLAND” for the kids! The Sheraton will honor this rate 3 days before & after for attendees.”

    Thanks so much for posting the info, Dianne!

    It looks like I should be able to attend, and I am really looking forward to it!

    I just wanted to post a note to everyone who may be considering attending but is unsure ~ these conferences are the single best use of my time and money EVER. It amazes me every time that there is STILL more information to learn, and even though I am (for the most part) well regulated and back to (ahem) “normal,” there are issues that come up, and it’s always best to know the most current information. Advances in diagnosis, treatment and research about autoimmune diseases are accomplished constantly.

    These are also the best group of people I’ve ever congregated with, bar none. :-) The first conference I went to was in Reno, and I was anxious because I had never set eyes on anyone, just typed to them. We all got along as though we’d been in each other’s living rooms regularly for years ~ which, when you think about it, we have! We know each other far better than you might think, and it’s nice to finally put faces to the names, then you hit the ground running and enjoy yourself like crazy.

    SEE YOU THERE, I HOPE!!
