Nevada Women's Hisotry Project - Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting was held Saturday, June 4, 2011 at the Tamarack Junction in Reno, NV. Thirty members attended. Annette Whittemore, Founder and CEO of the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neuro- Immune Disease was our guest speaker. This institute was founded after Ms. Whittemore and her husband were unable to find appropriate answers and treatment for their daughter’s neuro-immune disease. This institute “is the first of its kind in the world” and exists to “bring discovery, knowledge and effective treatments to patients with illnesses that are caused by acquired dysregulation of both the immune system and the nervous system, often resulting in life long disease and disability”. Many questions from our members were addressed by Ms. Whittemore.

Our group was invited to tour the institute at UNR and a trip will be scheduled in the near future. If you are interested in participating in this tour, please contact Marcia Cuccaro at 775-8831454 or by email at vergato1@sbcglobal.net . More information will follow once we know how many members are interested in taking this tour.
