Hello, Dreamers!

This is the journal of the staff of the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. Why is the MSF starting a Dreamwidth account for their staff?

Well, mainly because you're here - people with MS talking about MS. We need to know what you've got to say, so that we can better serve your needs. Of course, we'd also like to tell you what we're up to. We have some pretty terrific services, all offered free of charge, and we'd like to make sure you know about them and can take advantage of them. So getting in touch should be good for us all.

For future posts, this account will mirror our livejournal, so there's no need to friend both. (But far be it from us to stop you!)

If you have any questions about who we are and what we do, comment to any post and we'll respond. And if you have any communities or journals you'd recommend we watch, let us know that too!

The teleconference for World MS Day is really coming together. I'm excited about it. (Which I'm sure you're not surprised about, because I generally only post when stuff gets me excited!)

The format of the teleconference will be an MS Town Hall meeting. We will have panelists, but we hope it will be highly participatory for the audience. The topic will be "Unmet Needs in the MS Community." Each of our panelists will take 2-3 minutes to discuss what those needs are from their perspective, then will open it up to the audience for discussion or questions.

The panelists? So far, I've confirmed the following:Click, because these are awesome! )

If you want to participate, call in directly at (888) 550-5602 and enter 2344 1168. (Again, that's May 27 at 8 p.m. Eastern.) You can also register to get a meeting reminder by phone or by email by emailing editor@msfocus.org or by calling (800) 225-6495, ext. 145.

Hope to talk to all of you then!

Check this out: Blogging Against Disablism Day 2009

I love these kinds of grassroots initiatives, so much so that I am:

(a) posting twice in one day, which I think is a first
(b) taking a slight liberty with the MSF blog and going to post something of a bit more personal nature, but firmly on topic and that I hope you'll appreciate.
