Donations Needed for Travel Scholarships
Many of our colleagues from developing countries are eager to attend the annual MASCC meeting each June. However, cost of travel, hotel and registration add up to costs that go far beyond their budgets. Last year we were able to award 25 travel scholarships to the Rome meeting but more than 30 requests had to be turned down for lack of funding. You can help to fill more of the well deserved requests this year by contributing to the MASCC Development Fund and designate that your contribution be used for travel scholarships. All donations are welcomed, regardless of amount. Your contribution will be directly supporting your colleagues. Make a donation today.

What's to do in Vancouver?
With the help from the Vancouver locals, we have posted infomation on Vancouver and their top picks for restaurants and things to do while you are there. Included are articles on Vancouver, websites, phone numbers, proximity to the conference center and online reservation links for the restaurants that come highly recommended. For those of you that enjoy a bit of night life, you will also find a listing for the best places to see the action of Vancouver at night! PDF docs make them easy to print out to have on hand while you are there or find this information on the MASCC website. Enjoy!
