This Saturday, July 14, is the 3rd annual SouthFields Community Day, with booths, food, make-your-own items, demonstrations, a Scavenger hunt to "Find Bob", book signing by an author, and more. Over 30 participants will be showcasing their talents, skills and offerings for our enjoyment and enrichment. There will be classic cars to admire, contemporary art, vocal groups, inflatables for kids, a chance to use a pottery wheel, and more.
We'll have our Lyme Disease table and canopy tent there if you want to come by to say hi! Perhaps you have friends with questions about Lyme disease. Perhaps you have a story to share. If you know someone with Lyme disease who would like to be part of the tally, please let them look at the tab at the top of this page for more information.
I'll also have samples of real ticks there to show how tiny they are. Don't worry, they'll be very dead!

We are amazed at how many people come to ask for information about Lyme disease. They know a little, or have heard the word, but they are hungry and eager to learn more.
With all these events going on, I don't get to update the second part of my story on this blog. My apologies! Thank you for visiting or sharing.
* This September, there will be articles in the SouthFields Village voice about Lyme Disease, both from a vet and from me as a patient.
Grateful for all the opportunities! Please ask if you need to know something. If we don't know, we'll find out.

Hi Marlene,
How GREAT that you're able to work at the Lyme booths despite how you must be feeling on some days. I must say that it really helps me, mentally, to participate any way I can in helping others through this awful illness. Thanks for all your hard work. It's very interesting that people actually approach the booth for information! That's a good thing, but I wonder why they seek the information? Perhaps they ARE actually hearing tidbits here and there on the news, so the word 'Lyme' is now in their vocabulary. Yet, they don't know enough. As we know, the news reports are usually short, and don't tell the WHOLE story. Is your information mainly geared to 'protecting' people from Lyme, or does it inform of the political disaster, too? With encouragement to contact their MP? Just wondering. Anyway,thanks for all of your hard work on the Lyme front. Hope you have lots of success this Saturday.
good luck in sharing your information, and take care of yourself, it sounds like your one busy lady!!!
