sorry Betty I have not had time to get all this info together and it doesn't look like I will anytime soon. I have to fly east on Sunday, my dad had a small stroke and will be 93 on Tuesday.
I want to make clear that the CALDA grants are for healthcare professionals treating people with Lyme. Sorry we can't help with advocates' travel expenses, however we tried to keep program costs minimal.
Please promote the conferences to your own healthcare providers.

Feel free to share this if you think it is helpful.
The annual scientific/medical Lyme conferences are taking place in October in San Francisco. This is a summary of information you will need to start planning your trip. Some information is not yet available (ILADS conference cost). Registration for the CALDA workshop currently requires printing out a form; we will be setting up PayPal this weekend.
For patient advocates who find the cost a challenge, consider asking for support from local people/businesses/support group members who might be grateful to have an opportunity to help educate a community Lyme resource person. If it makes it easier, think about it this way: you are not asking for personal benefit, but in order to become a more effective advocate so you can better help more people.
I hope to see you in San Francisco. We are still working on plans so it will be an exciting and informative few days for everyone. Please let us know if you are planning to come so we can get a head count. Phyllis Mervine
CALDA Lyme Action Workshop for activists, support group leaders, patient advocates, friends and family who wish to become more effective advocates for the rights of people with Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. Thursday, October 16, 2008 Cost $45, includes break and Celebrity Lunch Buffet Register at http://www.lymedisease.org/activism/lyme_events.html
ILADS Saturday-Sunday, October 18-19, 2008 Cost - price has not been announced Lyme Action Workshop attendees are allowed to attend the meeting at the non-member RN rate. Register at http://www.ilads.org/2008ISS.html
HOTEL http://www.cathedralhillhotel.com/ Make reservations by calling 800 622 0855 during normal business hours by September 14, 2008. Identify yourself as a member of the Lyme group. Single or double rate is $119, Triple rate is $129 and Quad rate is $139 plus applicable taxes. If people want to share a room to reduce costs, let me know and I will try to help put people together. It's a great way to get to know other advocates. Once in NYC we had 4 of us in 2 queen-size beds and it was a lot of fun. Also, a couple of local people have offered hospitality in their homes, so let me know if that is your preference.
AIRFARE Price today of a RT flight from JFK to SFO on October 15/19 is around $400. http://travel.travelocity.com Cheaper flights may be available through other agencies. --

I apologize, I probably forgot. Barbara Buchman's email is [email protected]
Betty, it would help if you would email me directly when you need a response rather than waiting for me to check back here to see if someone has responded to something I posted.

phyllis,
i'm been doing a lot of soul searching about this conference that i would really like to go too.
BUT i'm NOT physically up to staying awake daily for the 2 days i would have gone for only!
my days/nights are so screwed around. i get so tired from just going to weekly hospital health programs for 1-2 hrs, and come home for 1-2 hr. naps.
i'll find the email addy of the kind woman in your area who offered to let me come to her home for this...
i know if i went, i'd pay for this for 2-4 months to get me back to where i am TODAY !! that's not worth it to me.
aug. 2000, i took a 8-day bus trip to NYC/philly. NEVER got any sleep in those expensive hotels. had FULL DAYS of going here/there. it took 2 months at least to get me back into shape again.
i filed for ssdi right before i left on trip that i'd not taken in 5-10 years. got ssdi forms galore during my absence.
they used my bus trip against me in 1st claim to deny me!
