                                                                WELCOME to OUR GUESTS

Welcome to "Frontiers in Brain Tumor Research and Treatment: Help Me To Stand".

This evening is dedicated to the cancer patient and family - and the new innovative

support and treatments that physicians, scientists, healthcare providers, government

and community can create when working together to respond to their needs.

                       "It Takes A Community To Fight Cancer".

 

Jim Potocsnak PA-C and I are pleased with the affiliation we have brought about

between the Seattle Neuroscience Institute at Swedish Hospital Medical Center

and Providence Everett Medical Center. This affiliation has attracted Marc Mayberg

M.D., David Newell M.D., Joe Eskridge M.D. and Greg Foltz M.D. not only to our

office at the Everett Neurological Center for consultaions but also to the Staff at

Providence Everett Medical Center, where they perform surgeries and proceedures.

Both Jim and I truly feel that we have brought to Everett:

"World Class Neurosurgical Care Without Leaving Your Community."

 

We are grateful that Reverend Larry Perry will offer the blessing for the outstanding

Seattle CyberKnife-Sponsored dinner created by Marjorie Laymance of Gallery

Cuisine, who has honed her skills under the famous restauranteur, "The

Iron Chef", Tom Douglas. And we hope that all of you will take the opportunity

of asking the amazing Mr. Dehner Franks to play either selections from his new,

yet to be released CD or your favorite request. Later in the evening, you will learn

the real reason for which he was flown up from Las Vegas to be with us this

evening.

 

Lastly, we owe the presence of our Key Note Speaker, Leroy Hood M.D. PhD.

to Dr. Greg Foltz, who has performed research with Lee for about 8 years. Greg

has been pleasantly surprised to learn that one of tonight's guests, Russ McDuff

carried out research in conjuntion with  Lee Hood's lab while at CalTech.

 

You will notie that tonight's event is being both recorded and photographed.

If you would like a candid photo of yourself with others, please request it of our

photographer, Curt Nakon (who can be reached after the event at 206-782-

9225). Should you wish a DVD of tonight's event, please call Puget Sound Video

(425-775-31699).

 

Please take the opportunity to introduce yourself to some of the other guests,

many of whom have flown or driven into town just for this occasion. Both Jim

and I hope that you truly will have a very special experience this evening.

 

                                                        Regards,

 

                      Jim Potocsnak PA-C                 Sanford Wright M.D.

                  Greetings from the Governor

                                                                           March 23, 2006

I am delighted to extend warm greetings to all who are attending this evening's special

event, sponsored by Seattle CyberKnife. Tonight's presentation - Frontiers in Brain Tumor

Research and Treatment - features truly gifted and visionary scientists, whose scientific and

medical contributions are both revolutionary and extraordinary.

 

Dr. Sanford Wright and his colleagues, of the Everett Neurological Center, have long been

recognized for their "firsts" - using the lastest in technological advances in their treatment

of patients here in Washington State. They serve as strong reminders about the importance

of keeping up with the lastest in research and treatment technology, which has so

dramatically changed their options for patient treatment over the years.

 

These physicians also serve to illustrate the importance of improving our educational system

so young people will have the skills they need to follow in the impressive footsteps of

Dr. Wright and his team, and other pioneers you will hear from tonight.  We all want our

children to achieve greatness in the work they chose to do during their lives. I believe we have

a responsibility to do our part to help them to succeed - I am committed to this myself.

 

I am honored to send my best wishes to Mayor Stephansonand other Everett community

leaders and members who gather to hear from these celebrated professionals. I regret that

my schedule prevents me from also attending. May this evening be amemorable and

enjoyable one for all of you.

 

                                                                Sincerely,

                                                         Christine O. Gregoire

                                                                 Governor
