We have a very special program planned for October 22 in Washington DC for all you advocates and patient activists. Starting at 8 am:
* Lyme in the schools with Sandy Berenbaum and Time for Lyme co-president Di Blanchard. TFL has a Lyme curriculum designed for school children.
* State legislation with Karen Gaudian and LDA president Pat Smith - two who worked on the recent successful doctor protection law in CT.
* CALDA CEO Lorraine Johnson - need I say more? She spearheaded the entire IDSA civil investigation project from its conceptualization through coordinating all the presentations at the hearing.
* Federal legislation with NJ Congressman Chris Smith's Legislative Director Tim Lynath and Pat Smith. Cong. Smith is the author of HR 1179, the federal Lyme bill.
* A panel of patient advocates who are doing interesting and important things around the country will share their thoughts with you! Doug Fearn (PA), Jennifer Reid (CT), Dorothy Leland (CA), Liz Schmitz (GA)
We have a special arrangement with ILADS for a one-day registration for workshop attendees for $200. Contact ILADS. Www.ilads.org
A few people living near DC have offered hospitality (contact me for info) and ILADS may reserve more rooms at a special price if there is demand. Contact Barbara Buchman at 301-263-1080
I hope to see you there.
