The DADS National group would like to know who is attending the NDSC Conference on July 16-18 at Walt Disney World, Florida. They are not presenting, but do plan on having an exhibit. They would love to have some Massachusetts members work the booth, hang out and maybe they will have an informal DADS gathering while there.

The Massachusetts D.A.D.S. chapter has partnered with multiple Applebee's restaurants in Massachusetts to host a Dining to Donate fundraiser event on Thurs. April 15th.  There are seven participating locations for this event in Brighton, Leominster, Methuen, North Attleboro, Quincy, Raynham and Worcester.  Depending on the location, up to 20% of you parties food bill (tax, alcohol and gratuity excluded) will be donated to the Mass D.A.D.S.

2010 looks to be a very productive year for DADS.  We are going to be funded through the MDSC and are planning a fund-raiser/event/outing for each month (except January).  On Wednesday, January 20, DADS held its first meeting of 2010 at John Harvard's Brew House in Framingham.  Our guest for this meeting was Dr. Brian Skotko.  There was a great turn out and several wives of DADS members were also there.
