To see what we have done previously, click on the below picture.  We had about 46 attend in May of 2000 and 87 attend in May of 2001.  We are looking for an even greater number for 2003.  We have finally been recognized through a Presidential Proclamation naming November 2001 as a one-time COPD Awareness Month, see http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/11/20011119-9.html   Now, we are looking for an annual COPD Awareness Month.
