We have regretfully cancelled our September Conference after experiencing a number of unexpected challenges. We would like to thank all of you who registered for the Conference, and will of course, refund all prepaid registration fees as soon as possible. The interest in meeting with, and learning from, other families clearly remains strong, and we will endeavour to plan another meeting for the Spring, when hopefully things will be calmer in many of our lives. The FAO AGM will still be held this Fall, in mid November, with details to follow. We will enable people to participate in person or through technology. Meanwhile, we apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may have caused, and look forward to meeting you at a later date.

Barbara McCormack, President
