Dear Colleagues & Friends:

Our 5^th Annual CME is just days away on 9/16/2006, Saturday. Our governing body has worked hard to put this event in place, but each one of us has to proudly claim the credit for its success by attending this event, and claiming all 7.0 hours of cat 1 CME credit.

It will be unjust if we miss to be thankful to our sponsors as without their $support, It would not be possible for an event of this magnitude to take place. I am sure our sponsors would like to be

acknowledged and appreciated by each of our attendees by visiting their exhibit spaces.

-Dhiren N. Ajudia, MD, President
