Hi folks,
I think this is a very important event for us to show
up at.

Suffolk is right in the belly of the Lyme beast, with
a great deal of denial by the inhabitants as to how
widespread and serious Lyme really is.

Several NYS legislators including state Senator
LaValle and Assemblyman Marc Allessi, and some Suffolk
County Legislators will be attending.

Anytime we get this kind of attention from people in
power, its essential that we show up to make it
clear that Lyme disease is a major problem that
deserves their action.

Travel directions can be found at

We can also go by LIRR. It's a two hour ride from
Penn
Station, leaving at 12:15pm and getting the 10:22pm
back from Riverhead.

It's a resort area, so that if people want to stay
over, they can check out the hotels at this site.

Please do whatever you can to go. Let me know if you
would like to meet at the LI Railroad and go together.
Ellen
