************ Ask The PACT ************

We at G-PACT would like  very much like to have feedback as to what
topics of interest  you would like to see included in the newsletter
as well as your overall  opinion. Our priority is to keep you
informed  as to the latest developments regarding Gastroparesis 
and  what information  is available on the G-PACT website as the
site is constantly growing.  This is your newsletter as well and to
make it effective  and beneficial to you, our subscribers, your
input would be very helpful.  If  you would like to contribute to
this, you may do so by e-mailing thepact@g-pact.org and we will do
our very best to answer your question and to honor your input.  
This could also work well as a message board and still remain
anonymous.
