What Was New For 2012!
Adult PKU & Guests Dinner PKU adults and their spouses or significant enjoyed a fun evening out. Everyone enjoyed a low-protein meal and had a chance to meet and talk with one another on Friday evening. The cost was $35 for first person; $15 for second person.
Kids ZoneThis supervised children's program included fun activities, crafts, kid-friendly sessions, swimming and a field trip to the Adventure Aquarium.
Scientific Poster Session This session allowed attendee's to learn about the latest PKU studies one-on-one with researchers. The attendee's walked through the poster displays and had the opportunity to stop at any research poster to learn the information first hand and ask questions.
