Annual
List Gatherings
Over
the past seven years, members of the Breast Cancer List
have arranged for a weekend meeting each fall to which
all List subscribers have been invited. As long as generous
members continue to be motivated to make all of the arrangements
necessary for the success of these meetings, we expect
them to continue.
Past
meetings took List members to Chicago (1996); Portland;
Oregon (1997); Calgary (1998); Miami Beach (1999); Kansas
City (2000); Toronto (2001); Dallas (2002); Portland,
Maine (2003); Vancover, British Columbia (2004), and Boston
(2005). You can see lots of photos from past large meetings,
plus several smaller gatherings at Francine Schwieder's
"BC List Recreation Area" website:

For
2006, the List Gathering has been dubbed "Phoenix
Rising." You are virtually assured of sun and the
beautiful red earth of the Southwest. Make your reservations
for October 13-15. You can find more information at:

There
are also many smaller regional meetings, often spontaneously
arranged. The long-runing Pismo Beach meeting will be
March 31 to May 2. For more information, contact Norma
Steele at nosteele1@earthlink.net.
Some
regional meetings draw from a wide area and attract an
attendance almost as large as the annual meetings. Watch
for announcements on the List from time to time as plans
for these get togethers take shape.
