Dear Friends:
We invite you to join everyone at the Capital in Washington, D.C. to educate the members of the House of Representatives about Lyme disease and request that each one sign on to H.R.2526 -
the Tick-Borne Advisory Committee (T-Bac) that was recently introduced into Congress by Representative Sue Kelly's office.
Please email me at [email protected] or call me at 860-870-0070 if you can join us. I have a growing list of volunteers and we look forward to everyone's help. I will send more details to those who contact me to attend.
My best,
Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner, Lyme Disease Community Caucus
