Grant County bird flu symposium

Sunday, July 2nd, 2006

Residents of Grand County, Indiana will be given the chance to get informed on bird flu and all the stories linked to it, as a free symposium will be organized at Indiana Wesleyan University’s Phillippe Performing Arts Center. The initiative belongs to the state Department of Health and Bruce Brender, one of the organizers, says it is a good opportunity to get the correct and essential information out to the public, which is a sign the county is doing something about the issue.

The event will consist of a brief overview of bird flu and what the county has planned to prevent the appearance in the state of Indiana. 15 minute lectures will be held by a few experts and then the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and get more information on the subject. Another goal of the presentation is to discard some of the rumours which surround the disease, as recent documentaries on the subject have only added to the concerns of the general public.
