TSFC Launches New Website We have recently unveiled our new website and if you haven’t already, we invite you to drop by and take a look at and let us know what you think. You will find a fresh look to our usual content and a few new surprises. We are still fine tuning our online ordering and donation pages but we expect these options to be available in the very near future. In the meantime we are still available by phone. A special thank you to our former Webmaster, Bob Rogers for his immeasurable time, commitment and dedication. Member Survey We are asking for input from our membership in creating a National Advocacy Strategy. What does advocacy mean to you and what can the TSFC do to better meet your needs in this area? These are some of the questions that we are hoping to answer with our National Advocacy Strategy Survey. Please take a few minutes to fill out the on-line survey at: Deadline for submission is June 27, 2007 . National Volunteer Awards Help us celebrate the outstanding accomplishments and contributions made by those that have touched your life in a special way.

We will be offering programs for children and teens, young adults, couples, adults, parents, educators and anyone with an interest in TS. If you have never at- tended one of our conferences we urge you to consider joining us this year where your family will have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field of TS and other neurological disorders and gain support from others who are going through the same experiences. You can find more information and registration forms at Sleep Study Dr. Robyn Stephens, Dr. Paul Sandor and Dr. Colin Shapiro are looking for individuals to participate in a new study that will look at how the medication Clonidine affects sleep and aggressive behaviour in children with Tourette Syndrome and ADHD.
