[Viva] Fwd: The CATIE Exchange - January 16, 2013

Wed Jan 16 14:16:15 PST 2013

Hi Tami. I was wondering how a person could get to go to these events that
are outside of the area that they live in. I would love to get more
involved it symposiums and lectures and conventions and things like these,
but I am on disability and could never afford to do that. I feel I could
have a lot to offer and would love to be able to go. Anyways I guess till
some kind of opprotunity comes up I will just keep looking and doing what I
can from here. Take care Tami.
