SPECIAL Meeting Notice
Dr. Stephen E. Fry, MD and
MS (micro biology) will be our guest speaker. Many of you
already know Dr. Fry, but you may not know of his recent
research findings in tick borne diseases. He's onto something
new and quite dramatic, in my opinion. So, come to learn about
his new findings, as well as other aspects of tick borne
diseases from the stand point of a physician and clinical
laboratory researcher.
PLEASE NOTE: This meeting will not be at our regular
location for a number of reasons. For this meeting only -
September 19 -, we will be at Scottsdale's new Granite Reef
Senior Center, 1700 N. Granite Reef. Take the McDowell exist
from Loop 101 (that's about 1 mile south of Indian School) and
proceed westerly for about one mile. Turn right on Granite Reef,
and enter the second or third driveways on the left. Look for us
in room no. 2.
We are fortunate to have secured a room capable of holding 200
people, so please feel free to bring family, friends and anyone
else who may be interested in Dr. Fry's presentation. You may
also spread the word among the health professionals you know.
And, please feel free to copy and liberally distribute the
attached flyer, if you wish.
The first hour is
dedicated to an educational topic,
the second hour is for group and emotional support.
Location: River Center Branch Library. Library is located at 5605 E. River Rd
