OPEN MEDICINE BENEFIT

It is our pleasure to invite you to a benefit evening for 
Open Medicine, Canada's new peer-reviewed open-access 
general medical journal. Open Medicine was launched in 
April 2007 by a group of volunteer medical doctors and 
editors who wished to set a new standard for independence 
and access to medical research. On NOVEMBER 21, 2007, we 
will be celebrating the journal's remarkable success to 
date and raising awareness and support for this bold 
initiative.
