PLEASE FORWARD AND CROSS-POST
NUMBERS COUNT
South Carolina's Lt. Governor will be speaking on behalf of patients. There will be additional speakers for the event as well. This rally will be held on Thursday May 14th 2009 between 10:00 - 11:30 AM in Columbia SC at the State Capitol North Grounds.
This rally is not just for those in South Carolina, but for patients from surrounding states to be included. Legislators will be in session and they have received personal invitations to this event.
Though some of you don't even remotely live near here, send this message to those that you know in South Carolina & surrounding states, like Georgia, North Carolina & Virginia.
Please feel free to bring chairs which will be permitted on the North Grounds. In case of rain the rally will be moved inside to the lobby area. Please note chairs are not permitted inside.
Please RSVP to: contact me and I will give you email, afraid to here.
so we can have a head count.
People from any state are welcome to come. Bring family, friends and of course, wear lime green. CALDA has great t-shirts!
For those of you in the Greenville Lyme Support Group, we will not have the support group meeting planned for May 16th in lieu of the rally.
Please join us for this historic event and make your presence known. Lyme Disease as you know, is a much bigger issue than is imagined by the general populous which barely knows what it is. We need to show this by our numbers.
Your presence or those that you know of will be a huge boost to getting Lyme into the mainstream and recognized.
Thank you for your participation.
