Organization Highlights, By Steve Mallory

Meeting Members" get together in February. They are already planning a
second meeting. He then explains that the Members Map has been moved. Look
here to see where other members live.
Dysphagia, a stroke caused disability that prevents swallowing, will be
topic of discussion in the chat room March 1. The affiliate program now
has almost two dozen members. Check out some of these websites for more
stroke information.
