Hi Everyone,

I've started a Yahoo group in hopes of keeping a similar program to Secret Lymies going (I was running Secret Lymies but can't do it anymore - this is a more self-run program). This group is called Lyme Pals and is set up slightly differently from Secret Lymies. Instead of being assigned someone to send things to, you can choose to "adopt" someone who wants to receive things. If you're interested in participating, join the group (click the link) and decide if you'd like to only recieve things, only give things, or do both!

Basically it works like this:
1) If you decide to adopt someone, you can go to the participant database and choose someone to "adopt". When you "adopt" someone you e-mail me to let me know who you're adopting and then I'll add your information to the "adopters" database. Then, send them an e-card, paper card, or small gift at least once a month.

2) If you decide to participate by receiving from someone, you can go to the "participant" database and add your information. Then sit back and relax. Once someone has adopted you, you can look forward to receiving something at least once a month.

3) If you decide to do BOTH, just follow both of the above directions.

Please do not join into this half-heartedly. If you choose to adopt someone you need to commit to sending at least one thing a month.

This program will be a way for Lymies to get to know each other a bit and know that there is someone out there that cares. It's amazing how great a card can be and how much a little gift can lift your spirits when you're down.

Children, teens, and adults are all encouraged to join. If it goes well, I may make a separate group for kids and teens but we'll see how this goes.

If you'd rather not participate at this time, that's fine. Just keep it in mind for the future.

Peace and healing,
Annie

Thanks for setting this up. I signed up and feel funny to "ask" to receive. It is an exercise in humility for me.

thanks again

Cathy
