I've read about them and am curious how many other Sjogren's people you will meet!

Cannot wait to hear!

What is that "sip for Sjogrens"?   I don't know what that means.

Steve,

It's a fundraiser for Sjogren's research.  I read about it on the Sjogren's Foundation website.  There have been several over the past few years, usually in large cities.

That sounds interesting.  Here I thought at a certain time of day we were all suppose to raise our beverage of choice to one another.   ;D  We should do that!!   ;)

I'm anxious to hear all about this event.

They had tables set up with different water from around the world. I like plain ole "still water". I think my favorite is Fiji. But the main thing is the networking.

The CEO for the sjogren's sydnrome foundation came down from maryland to attend and it's a great way to network with others in your area that have Sjogren's.

A news anchor from charlotte, nc was there as well and did some talking. I think someone had a connection to get him in there... I live in SC and didn't recognize him but he was sure being followed around with a camera. LOL.
