Text Box: The Post Polio Support Group Of Maine Information, resources, and support for Maine people with polio and their families since 1986. Text Box: Tentative Agenda, Annual Seminar 2004 “Helping to Make Life Easier and More Enjoyable” Text Box: There will be loads of handouts and pamphlets this year. Many of our speakers will be setting aside time to talk with you individually, and can make appointments to meet with you at a later date. With so many of these agencies having offices throughout the state, our speakers can give you the address of the nearest ones to you. Our usual vendors will be returning to offer us the most up-to-date products that are available for us. Thanks to your past participation, our Silent Auction has really helped with covering expenses. You may donate any new or hand-made items –whether crafts or food to include in the Auction. There will also be gift certificates, too. For something special this year, we are offering a full-course roast pork dinner. If you need a vegetarian meal, please note on the registration form. The day is sure to include a wide range of information that we can use in everyday life. If you have any questions about the program or facilities, you may contact us at 207-724-3784. We hope to see you on the 11th!

*Upon special request a vegetarian dinner is available—must notify request by September 3—use form on reverse.
