Updated RSVP Email Address for PF Patient Event

OOPS! There was an incorrect email address for the RSVP to register for the PF patient event. The corrected address is below.

I am watching William pack up his car to begin the 800+ mile home. Rather sad...We did have a fantastic night with Elle, Marco and their daughter Ada last night. Homemade pho, ceviche and spring rolls filled with pork and taro. Delightful. We didn't get home until midnight. Michael is going to be late to work!!

Since I have to go to the orchestra rehearsal tonight, I am going back to bed this morning then not much else other than picking up the house. Done. I am done.
