This is your chance to get the word out. Lyme Disease Awareness Month. I have written an article you can use or there are suggestions and templates for writing your own. If you need help, let me know. Let's see how many articles we can get into small town papers across America in the next few weeks. Visit the CALDA website at http://www.lymedisease.org/news/lyme_action_alerts/index.1.html for the article and other hints.
Making a display is also fun and there are instructions on the CALDA website as well as downloadable graphics. You can buy display boards - foam or cardboard - at your local office supply store. This might be a good project for a teenager, if you have one lying around. See if your library, school, vet or clinic would like one and get to work! http://www.lymedisease.org/activism/make_display.html Posted by pmerv (Member # 1504) on :
Maybe it would help inspire some activity if people noted here which papers and where they had managed to get articles published. I spoke today with the 7-8 local papers I contribute regularly to, and all sounded like they were going to publish the article. It's not that hard to do and just takes a few minutes. Please let us hear from you if you have got a story in your local paper for LD Awareness Month.

Thanks Phyllis! Lots of good work for a good reason.
I haven't gotten anything in yet... so I may take you up on it.
