@rosemarya actually now that I think about it, I think it’s a gathering just for transplant recipients. It would be really great if donor families were invited also but from what I’ve seen from my surgeon, MGH protects the donor family zealously so they would probably hesitate to get us ALL together.

@rosemarya. I suspect that this is sort of like a “social”, there are some refreshments served. I am curious and looking forward to attending.

@contentandwell, I guess it depends on whether it is held in an auditorium setting and open to all, or an invitation reception.
I have attended both kinds. I have been there on invitation to act as a greeter and hostess on the occasions that I was in attendance. You are right about protecting and respecting the privacy for the donor families.
