Avast Ye Swabs,

So you want to go after the “Black Hearted Melanoma”  … the scurvy cancer!  

Welcome on board the Grand Commodore and we will see you safely through the treacherous waters to the rollicking adventures at McCovey Cove!  Come dine in me Capn’s cabin and sip the best of grogs with the crew of The “Billy Foundation”.  Join us for Ports o’ Call in the San Francisco Bay…ye can be assured our trusty galleon Commodore will git ye there…November 5th, 2005.  Be dockside by 6 p.m. or ye be left adrift wi’ nary a paddle to catch us with!
 
So batten down your hatches and keep a weary eye out fer foul pirates aiming to have ye’ walk the plank     to raise funds for the cure.  Many a bounty will be displayed from the spoils of our plundering of the Spanish Main and put on the auction block to blast the fundraising goal right through the tallest mast!

Peg leg dancin’ to the music of the islands where we hit the reef in years gone by will keep ye a tappen’ your boots.  Bring your wenches and dress in your best togs. (Black tie or Themed Attire preferred by me cap’n) so quicken your step and get that RSVP in by October 24th, 2005 so ye won’t be a losing your place amongst the landlubbers! 
 
We have parlayed a great speaker or two fer your educational enlightenment…The Cap’n has “shanghaied” Clay Cockerrel, MD,the “Admiral” (?)me thinks of the American Academy of Dermatology AND Natale Cascinelli, MD the “Ruler” we were told of the World Health Organization’s melanoma program” To be sure there will be plenty of Pirate Shenanigans and a Jolly Good Time while ye journey through fearsome pirate held waters…just beware of the scallywags you run into… they have been known to take a dagger to ye’ throat if you don’t spend your doubloons on all the
lootprovided quick enough.

So… We will see you there…Nov. 5, 2005.  Just look for the billowing “Jolly Rogers” and step lively …Come on Board!  We’ll be keepen’ an “AYE” out for ye!
