FOR ACTION ON TOURETTE SYNDROME

The Tourette Syndrome Association (TSA) will hold its third annual Congressional Luncheon on Thursday, March 3, 2005 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. to educate Congressional Members and their staff about Tourette Syndrome and the crucial issues of special education, the importance of an early and accurate diagnosis, and the necessity of continued governmental support and funding for the TS education and research program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.   

This year we are proud to have TS Youth Ambassadors Jackie Baker from Virginia, Jackson Kramer from California, John Loder from Florida, Andrew Nesbitt from Texas, Joriel Sharp and Jennifer Zwilling both from New York—all of whom have TS—addressing guests.

Margaret Bush, sister-in-law to President George W. Bush, will serve as mistress of ceremonies.
