**KIDS CORNER** There are many kids who have Lyme Disease and need support. There are many kids who have parent(s) with Lyme Disease and need support, too. Classroom B is where the 'kids/teens' can hang out. They can talk, play their DSi's, play with quiet toys, board games, puzzles, color, bring white board markers, share their cell phone numbers, facebook accts., etc. This is intended to let kids/teens that are old enough to communicate and express their feelings about having the disease or living with parent(s) that have it. [Not for babysitting purposes.] Thank you. Parents will need to provide any 'toys' and/or snacks for their children.

**May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month**
Please make a difference in your area by bringing awareness to others. Some suggestions; write your Lyme story and make copies to hand out, print out business/index size cards with facts about Lyme and the Lyme meetings and give out. Today, my daughter and I took a cheap plastic 'lyme' green tablecloth and cut it lengthwise and made a huge bow around our large rock formation. It's a great conversation piece! Put up Lyme information at your local library or community center. Talk about Lyme with the Boy Scouts or Girls camp groups.

Thurs. May 19th @ 12am [midnight] is the showing of Under Our Skin on Channel 9 KUEN. Hopefully, you have a way to record it and watch it at a more convenient time. Please let your family & friends know about this. Please send a 'thank you' to KUEN for letting it be shown. Maybe add your personal Lyme story with it. Who knows...maybe someday they'll show our Utah Lyme Disease documentary!
