[Nmefman] MAY12 - ANNOUNCEMENT - NATIONAL ME/FM ACTION NETWORK NOW ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER

Sugject: National ME/FM Action Network Joins Facebook and Twitter Now that May 12th ME/CFS and FMS Awareness Day is over, I first of all would like to remind you that we would like to report the MAY 12th activities that were held around the world. It will probably be necessary to streamline the report in our newsletters but will also send out an email on those activities. I am also pleased to announce that you can now find us on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/National-MEFM-Action-Network/119761554710463 and on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/mefmaction . Remember that Facebook and Twitter are very public so don't say anything you do not wish anyone to know. We hope that you will take a look and join our pages. We look forward to connecting with you on these social network sites. The National ME/FM Action Network is a Canadian non-profit organization that reaches out around the world and is made up completely of volunteers. Founded earlier but registered as a charitable orginization on June 18, 1993, it is dedicated to advancing the recognition and understanding of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) through education, advocacy, support, and research. Our organization seeks to effect positive change in the attitudes, policies, and practices of government, medical governing bodies, the legal establishments, business, the media, and the general public. In addition, a quarterly newsletter is published to keep you abreast of matters relevant to the ME/CFS and FMS world and related illnesses. This newsletter is free with an annual membership fee. We look forward to hosting the 4-day 10th International IACFS/ME Research & Clinical Conference - Translating Evidence into Practice: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Related Illnesses in Ottawa, Canada - Sept. 22 - 25, 2011 at the Crowne Plaza.
