Other issues

Childcare TAF won't be able to provide childcare, the liability is just too high. I would recommend contacting Preemie-l members in the area and seeing if they can give recommendations. As a friend, we can look into whether there are any drop-in child care places in the area but only unofficially.

Lunches We will book a local venue for lunch

Accomodation options in Detroit To be advised.
