Patchwork Benefit & Auction
April 26, 2008
|
We would like to thank all of the volunteers that
made our 8th annual Patchwork Benefit and Auction a success.
This year our Patchwork Benefit had a Chinese
theme. Along with the Chinese themed dinner and decorations, we
had samplings of Chinese tea and handwriting. For entertainment,
we had three talented musicians performing; two playing the zither
and one playing the violin.

by approximately 60 parents and 10 children with GM3 synthase

Saturday June 21st at Metzenbaum Center on Cedar Rd. in
Chesterland, Oh. Friday begin with introductions and some social
time and then Dr. Wang spoke to the group about what has been
accomplished in the last two years since the group met. Dr. Jim
Lalumandier from Case Western School of Dentistry also addressed
the group of 50 parents. In the afternoon, Dr. Lalumandier had his
dental students do exams on the children in attendance. Saturday
was a day of all participants getting acquainted and sharing
information and good food. Bone density tests were done on
parents, siblings and children with Cohen disease. Some parents
got together to begin exploring the idea of a parent advisory
group to assist other families all over the world to learn more
about Cohen Syndrome. DDC Clinic will be a willing participant in
their advisory group. |
