43rd PMC near Philadelphia

[Bill]

Hello. Good to see you posting Roy. I've been wrapped up in tons of work and haven't had a lot of time for it. It's my priority though, and I will come back to it.

This is about the Pacific Macrobiotic Conference. It will be held at Rosanna's Kitchen, 8 miles East of Philadelphia. All the information is below. You can email myself or Kaare for more details. Please inform others who might be interested in coming. It has always been, for the most part, a fine gathering. It's that time again. We had a successful 42nd PMC in Tempe, AZ in March and it is coming to Rosanna's Kitchen September 20th through 23rd. I am inviting all of you near and far to consider participating.

It is inclusive and open. There are some on this list that have showed up at various ones. I think it started in '80 or '81 and has been a continuous string since. Kaare and David have been around since the beginning. Put that in the mix with
Rosanna and James and it promises to be very informative, if not just plain entertaining.

The blurb is below and we hope to see some of you there. There are no badges.

Thank you.

Bill

Hi Bill. Good to see you are still busy spreading the good word of macrobiotics! It is a good idea to share ideas regarding macrobiotic practice and I think Philly has a pretty active macro community. I will probably get there around noon on Saturday and will stay through to brunch Sunday. Maybe we can get a group of New England macros to caravan down together via the
Boston to DC train which stops in Boston, Providence, New Haven, New York City, Newark, and Philly. WE can call it the Peace Train.

If anyone is interested in jumping aboard at one of these stops, please let know: COllins_6166@msn.com

I guess we can caravan by car as well. Pick me up in Providence?

A lot of changes are going on in the world of macrobiotics and we should all try to lend our voices to help unify our practice.

What about accomodations? Maybe we can all fit into Denny's basement...

In peace, Roy
