Subject: Dinner & a short emergency response course in Toronto, Canada

		    CRYONICS EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING

	On Sunday,  January 22, 1998 there will be a 4-hour training in 
cryonics emergency response in Toronto, Canada.  The course will run from 
approximately 1 p.m. to 5 or 6 p.m. The course will have both practical 
and cognitive aspects. Cognitive training will address issues such as 
preventing sudden death, responding to sudden death and the importance 
of preventing ischemic injury in all forms of death. Practical training 
will include CPR and perhaps some scenario practice with a portable ice 
bath (PIB).

       There will be no monetary charge for attending this course, but 
a Cdn$50 deposit is required in advance of the date of the course. The 
deposit will be refunded in person to all those who actually attend. 
There will be no refund to those who do not attend. Registration will 
be limited to the first 10 people to send the deposit -- other deposits 
will be refunded by mail. (Use accompanying application form.)

       The course will be taught by Ben Best, who is President of the 
Cryonics Society of Canada. Ben is a registered CPR instructor with the 
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario as well as a registered First Aid 
Instructor with the Canadian Red Cross Society. Ben has attended two 
cryonics Transport Training courses, one at Alcor in 1991 and one at 
BioPreservation in 1996, both supervised by Mike Darwin. 

		 LIFE EXTENSION/CRYONICS DINNER

       On Sunday, January 18th at 18:30 (6:30 pm) in Toronto.  This is 
a chance for people interested in all forms of Life Extension (including 
Cryonics) to get-together and discuss their views and experiences.  There 
is no formal presentation or start time. 

      Tables are reserved under the name Ben Best, but people are invited 
to arrive beginning at 6:30 p.m.  We will probably still be talking at 
9 p.m., so  8 p.m. would not be too late to arrive.  Very inexpensive 
vegetarian dishes can be ordered at the counter and brought to the table 
(cafeteria-style).    Or, people can simply buy a glass of juice and join 
in the discussion. This is a non-smoking event.  Drop-in and chat! 
Bring your friends!
