Fibromyalgia Awareness Day and Picnic

The North Texas Fibromyalgia Group would like to invite other groups to join us, May 8, 2010, at the Huffhines Park Pavillion for a BYO Picnic and Fun day, including a balloon release! We will have face painting, hoola hoops, games, contests, as well as an art exhibit of What Fibromyalgia Is... Time 1:00 - 4:00 pm. Huffhines Park is at Preston Road and Apollo, in Richardson Tx. Our balloon release will allow each person to write on a card, what FM is. Information can be attained by calling 972-564-4849--my number or emailing me back at NTXFMS@aol.com.

I also wanted to find out where each of you are, so we may refer people to you, who contact us, but my be out of our area.  We do not want people suffering without a support team to encourage them. Our mailing address is PO Box 3172, Forney, TX 75126. The above phone is the one they may contact me at. Our web address is below. We have 425 members, and growing!

Maybe we can coordinate a special conference next year. My group has plans of going into a non-profit status, for educational purposes. We would love to invite you, too, to be a part of this season of awareness. We have monthly lectures from professionals, weekly socials as well as a card ministry, and other social events so our members can really get to know each other.

We also have a health fair scheduled  June 12, at the Walnut Hill Recreation Center. We will have 24+ exhibitors showing practices, goods, merchandise that can ease any of our painful symptoms! Time 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Corner of Walnut Hill and Midway, in Dallas. We invite you and your members to participate. We will also have a raffle going to win a prize from any of our distributors!

lease add us to your list of references, and if I may help you in any way, feel free to call. I'd love to network with other leaders on a mission of awareness about Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome!
