Dan Miller is an inspirational speaker from Yakima Washington. His presentation "Living, Laughing and Loving Life" is both funny and enlightening. He also has post-polio syndrome, and his experiences in life will inspire us all. Mr. Miller will be with us throughout the day.

POLIO AWARENESS WEEK is in the making

We are working with the State Legislature to establish the first week in June as Maine Polio Awareness Week. Reggie Arsenault reports that he anticipates that two legislators will sponsor the bill and hopes to have it presented for hearings and adoption very soon. We will be working with media representatives and various agencies throughout the State to help get our message out to more people about post-polio syndrome. So, keep your eyes and ears open for any publicity items. If you have any ideas about publicity, would like to help, or have stories you would like to share, please contact Reggie directly at 207 364-7003
