Now seems like as good a time as any to catch up with some NIFL-Health news:

* Recently, several people have inquired about posting information about
conferences and workshops. I'd like to let you know about the Calendar of
Events on LINCS. It includes information about major state, national, and
international events for the next six months. I encourage you to visit this
calendar, and submit items as appropriate. To get to  the calendar, go to
http://www.nifl.gov/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar_world.cgi.

* And about events, I will be leading two roundtable discussions at the
upcoming Cancer, Culture, and Literacy conference in Clearwater, Florida.
One of these roundtables will focus on NIFL-Health and LINCS. It  will be a
way to put faces to names, and talk together about our online discussion
group. The other roundtable will focus on Health Literacy Month and the
accompanying website, Health Literacy Toolbox 2000. Join in the discussion
about ways to raise awareness about the need for understandable health
information.

* And about the Health Literacy Toolbox 2000 website, we hope to have the
site live within the week. I look forward to announcing the URL just as soon
as it's ready.

Hope to meet some of you soon,
