And what an exhausting day it has made! I'm recovering from a cold today so I've been working from home, trying to spread the word about everything we've got going on for NMSEAM. I had so much I wanted to say about it here when I first thought about it this morning, but you all will forgive me if for now - ten hours later - you just get the bare bones (i.e. the links)!
Huh, now that I think of it, you may just be thankful for that. :-)
* A new class of MSF Ambassadors will be selected. See the application for full details.
* Two national teleconferences will take place. Here are the details about the Maximizing Mobility teleconference, and here are the details for the conference on Staying Open to Change.
* Eight regional educational programs are scheduled. See this announcement to find out if there's one near you.
* Free MS Awareness Kits are available. Order yours here or click this link for a photo of what's inside. (See also the Get Involved page to learn about this year's initiative and how you can win a free t-shirt and/or be featured in MSFocus.)
* On the Facebook NMSEAM fan page and on our Twitter page we'll be sharing a fact about MS every day of the month, and asking people to pass that fact on to their networks. If you're on FB or Twitter, please think about following us there.
* Over the course of the month, as the inspiration strikes me, I'll be having a few quick (one day at most) t-shirt contests. So keep an eye out here (on LJ & DW), or on the aforementioned FB and Twitter pages.
That's all I can think of for the moment, all though I'm sure I'm missing a number of things. Please let me know what you think of these ideas, and if you have any suggestions for MSF, now or for the future of NMSEAM.
