2005 (Boston, MA) IAL

 

Each year at the IAL Annual Meeting we hold a WebWhispers Banquet for our members and guests. Those who register to attend this dinner are invited to a Reception held just prior to the banquet. We are pleased to announce that Bruce Medical Supply is again hosting this Reception and we appreciate the generosity of Richard Najarian for this sixth year that he has supported our celebration.

 

Our dinner costs have been going up each year and it was necessary to raise the price of reservations two years ago in addition to cutting the menu offered. Last year, we were looking at an even worse situation; however, Jobeth Seder generously offered, on behalf of INHEALTH Technologies, to underwrite our banquet expenses to keep the "out-of-pocket" cost for our dinner at the reasonable sum of $25.00 per person. We were extremely shocked at the offered prices of the dinners in Boston this year but we actively looked and negotiated for the best deal we could find and again we are very happy to report that Inhealth Technologies, along with Bruce Medical Supply, will allow us to keep our "out of pocket" cost per person to $30 by underwriting any outstanding balance.

 

We are deeply thankful for and sincerely appreciative of this outreach and support by these well-respected laryngectomee product vendors.
