--My deepest apologies to everyone who was looking forward to the 3rd Annual Lupus Walk this coming Saturday. I am afraid that the HMMC will not be participating in this event this year. Unfortunately my work has called me to extend a business trip that had kept me out of the country longer than I expected. Consequently preparations for this event cannot be completed in time for this event as I am still out of town tonight.

If you are still interested in learning about Lupus you can read more about it at the following link:

If you would still like to participate in this event that is occurring this Saturday September 9th, 2006 at 8a.m., you can gather more information and even register at this site:

Thank you everyone that has shown interest in this event.
