The Philadelphia Multiple Myeloma Networking Group (PMMNG) will hold its next regular monthly meeting on Saturday, September 14, 2024 from 1:30 – 3:00 PM.  This meeting will include an open discussion and small group breakout sessions.  Please bring any questions you may have about your journey with myeloma.  As always, patients and care partners are welcome to attend.

As a bonus, a representative from the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) will speak briefly to give us information about the upcoming (on October 19) MMRF Walk/Run fundraiser in Philadelphia.

While the meeting itself will begin at 1:30, we will be starting the Zoom at 1:00 pm for anyone interested in having a little more time to talk to one another informally or ask questions.

All PMMNG members will receive a meeting invitation via email.  If you are new to the group, contact Barbara Falkowitz (b[email protected]) to receive the meeting link. 

We look forward to seeing you on Zoom!

***Please make a note that our October meeting is changed from the second Saturday to the first Saturday on October 5, 2024, as the Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur, falls on the second Saturday.

Hammock vacation

Just a reminder that there will be no monthly PMMNG meeting in August. We'll be taking our annual "vacation."

We'll be back September 14, 2024 though, with another Zoom-based meeting. Our tentative topic for that meeting is "Diet and Multiple Myeloma."

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of your summer!
