<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I noticed that the Meetup announcement for the March GM could use some
improvement as it seemed like a duplicate of the recent healthcare talk, so
Babette is editing it now.</DIV>
<DIV>Also, I never saw the announcement before it went to Meetup or to the
newsletter, but Barbara says they are identical.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, Heinz, please hold off on sending the newsletter, as we may be revising
the GM announcement portion.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you got a Meetup announcement today about a March 15 general meeting on
Apple devices with Michael Luchesi, that was a mistake and the Meetup has been
cancelled.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Steve</DIV>

MANAGING FAMILY HEALTHCARE<BR><BR>Presenters: Linda Siegel & Babette Bloch
Technology can help you to be a partner, not just a patient, with your medical
team.<BR>In this presentation, Linda and Babette will share tools and resources
to help you manage your own, or your loved ones, healthcare. They will cover
tips (and pitfalls) of technology that can help you manage chronic and difficult
healthcare challenges, such as:<BR><BR>• How can you communicate effectively
with your medical team and with the other family/friends providing care and
making decisions?<BR>• What are the key documents to prepare in advance?<BR>•
Where can you find reliable information online to help?<BR>• How can you keep
track (and share) all the information without being overwhelmed?<BR>• How can
you keep others informed and get help that is truly helpful?<BR>• And finally,
dealing with healthcare is a life long process, so they will share some software
applications to help take your mind off your health!<BR><BR>Linda Siegel is a co
