The kick-off meeting for the Progeria Research Foundation - KY Chapter was a huge success. Audrey Gordon presented an informational slideshow, educating all the Board members and volunteers about progeria and the role of Chapters. We want to thank everyone again for their particiation. Special thank you to Pam and Rick for allowing us to have an after-party at their house. Another special thank you to Crowne Plaza for providing us with the meeting room. Audrey also had the opportunity to visit Brownstown Electric Supply in Brownstown, IN, the home of the Zach Pickard Pelican Run. As always, Brownstown provided excellent hospitality and welcomed Audrey as one of their own. It's great to have such support not only in our own community but in our extended community. Thanks again!
Let me also say thank you to all the other countless volunteers who have given their time and energy for this cause. We love each and every one of you!!
