Dinner in Boston - June 2-5
« on: May 04, 2012, 08:24:40 AM »
Y'all NewEngland, eastern Canada,  & anywhere LDOers,

Wanna get together for dinner in Boston? I will be at the American Transplant Congress meeting in the Hines Auditorium June 2-6, so am free the evenings of Jun 2 through 5.  (Tuesday June 5 may be a bit difficult for me.) I still luv seafood [except Atlantic farm salmon].

That would be fun, and it looks like a great program, but I am thousands of miles away!

jatopa [& y'all LDOers in southern CA & NV],

How about San Diego Dec 2-5, 2012?

(I will post something about that closer to the time.)

San Diego could work.  What's the occasion?  Is there an interesting conference going on then?

Jatopa,

PRIM&R (Public Responsibility in Medicine & Research) had a meeting every fall for Institutional Review Boards, the "Advancing Ethical Research" Conference.  It will be in SD those dates, & I will attend.

Anyone else?  (I will send a repeat invitation in November.)

Dear Bill and all in the Greater Boston area,

  It would be great to get together again!  Friday or Saturday would be best for us, then Sunday, with Monday problematic but possible.  Know where you're staying yet, Bill?

Hi Bill -
I won't be anywhere near Boston, but I do live in the Seattle area.  If there is ever a LDOer get together in the Pacific NW I would love to join and meet up with some other living donors!

Have a great trip to Boston...

Julie,   Since I live in Bellingham, let's arrange a Seattle area meeting soon!   :)  See my next post.

Clark & y'all Greater Boston-area LDOers,  I am staying at the Marriott Courtyard Downtown, 275 Tremont St.  Saturday would be good for me.  Which restaurant?  (As you know, I luv seafood.)

Hmm, I'm looking at the Marriott now from across the street at the ARC Boston Donor Center. Lots of choices in the neighborhood, with fish a certain choice in all.
