CSM in Boston - Here We Come

This is just a copy and paste (for the most part) of the e-mail I sent out to the states I am a liaison for through the APTA Student Assembly. In retrospect, I should have just posted this here and in my e-mail directed everyone here... there's always next time.

What I did not send out to the liaison network was a
reminder to stop by the Student Assembly booth, where
we will have student guides to CSM and tons of other
great stuff.

I won't go too much into how great an experience these APTA
conferences can be, but it is my duty to inform you of the
great events that will be going on. For those of you not
attending I certainly hope to get a chance to meet you in
Washington D.C. between May 21-24 for the House of
Delegates and Advocacy Academy & PT Day on Capitol Hill
and/or in Denver between June 27-30 for PT 2007:APTA's
Annual Conference.

Back to Boston though; here is a quick reference of events
including a lot of social events (All programming can be

for me with questions):

There was also mention of a Dodgeball Tournament to be held
by the MGH Institute of Health Professions that was to raise
money for the Foundation, however details are not yet
available. The point is there are going to be tons of ways
to have fun and learn (as a reminder, I left most of the
academic programming off because it is available on the APTA
website; CSM isn't all social events...).
I look forward to seeing most of you at the Student Assembly
Meet & Greet on Thursday from 7-8 in Salon E.

Have a great and safe time (whether you are going to the
conference or not)!!!
All the best.
