Ok so while we sit and wait for HR1179 to pass lets open some eyes. If everyone with lyme or who knows someone with lyme ties a lyme green ribbon around a tree or two, it will be just a matter of time that questions are being asked. We need to bring attention to this pandemic and find a cure. Everyone with a lyme green ribbon is helping to get that cure! Spread the word to your friends. I did my yard today and the neighborhood tomorrow.
Good luck for us all.... this is only phase 1 of my idea. Trish

I had to get so much that I bought lime green fabric that I cut into strips and am working on my neighborhood. I know May is lyme awareness month but people are sick now! I like the idea of car antenae's too!
thanks everyone

Very true...I was thinking May also just weather wise. We still have alot of snow here:P But yes the car antenae, that would be an easy thing to do. I used to have the Lyme ribbon magnent on the back of my car then someone took it! Hope they at least put it on their car...LOL

Take Care,
Ann

I've emailed everyone I can think of and asked them to order 200 brochures from LDA and work with local businesses to distribute them. I'm also having my kids' after care program going to make posters that I will display at local businesses with brochures. would love to get some decals...

You can custom create too. I tried looking for the LD is a national crisis but perhaps I have to customize it. I was thinking about this site for customizing, it seems to be cheaper!
