Attention Support Group Leaders, Patient Advocates and Activists...
I am posting this announcement here just in case you did not receive it directly from me. Or, if you haven't visited the Activism forum recently. Or, if it passed by too quickly for most to reply.
If you would like to be included on my list of SG leaders- advocates- and activists contacts... please let me know via Email.
Thanks, Melanie

Dear Friends,
It has been awhile since I have contacted many of you, please forgive me for that. As you know, life and health issues get in the way at times and tend to pull us away from very important ongoing TBD support work. The good news is, however, that we are a persistent group!
I am writing to you today to make you aware of a most generous offer. This offer stems from Dawn Irons, editor of the Public Health Alert newsletter. I have taken time to read through the newsletter that is available on-line as well as in a printed format. What I have seen so far is excellent.
This publication, while mainly focusing on Lyme and co-infections, also combines forces with medical experts in the fields of other chronic illnesses. It is an integrative approach, that I personally feel, has been lacking for sometime.
Please take the time to review the latest issue on-line, and then decide if you would like to be included in Dawn's offer to send free issues for distribution to your group members at only the cost of shipping. Some additional places for distribution may include: coffee shops, bookstores, newsstands, libraries, schools, health clinics, health clubs, hospitals, Dr. offices, community resource centers, etc.
Below is her note to all support group leaders, as well as direct contact information. Please feel free to share this letter with others.
Let me take this opportunity to express my most sincere appreciation for all that each of you do to help with your continuous efforts in the Lyme community.
My very best, Melanie Reber
Melanie Reber, MLA, ASLA Executive Director The National Lyme disease Memorial Park Project

We really need to get this paper all over the US!

Melanie, I am confused - as usual. I don't recall reading any info on your "list of SG leaders- advocates- and activists contacts."
Where will that list be available?
I did send on the info about the free issues of Public Health Alert to the people on my Ld E-list. So nice of Dawn!

Melanie, your post went super wide; can you fix that for others reading.
I too NEVER saw it on activism and I read it daily.
What are the initials after your name for memorial project?

Hello Ann, It is a personal list that I have compiled over the years to quickly contact many at one time. So, it is MY email list of SG leaders, etc. Hope that clears things up?
And thank you again for passing this along on your E-list
