HELLO FABULOUS PEOPLE! - Saturday, AUGUST 9

***###_ WE MEET THE SECOND SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH. _###***

Next meeting of the SF Fibromyalgia and CFIDS Self-Help and
Advocacy Group is Sat, August 9, 2-4 pm with Michael S. leading.

We continue with the following format: an hour for individual
sharing (4-6 minutes each) followed by an hour devoted to a specific
topic. This month we begin again the topics from "CFIDS Self-Help:
Materials for Alumni/On-going Groups" by Bruce Campbell. The topic for
August 9 is "THE CFIDS AND FM SELF-HELP PROGRAM".

This is a ***FRAGRANCE FREE*** meeting. And please DO NOT come to
the meeting if you are CONTAGIOUS.

The information we share at these meetings is **confidential**. By
attending this meeting, you agree to not share information about
members with those outside of the group. (Disclaimer: I cannot
guarantee that all members will abide by this rule.)

LOCATION
Davies Campus of the California Pacific Medical Center, at Castro
St. and Duboce St. Room B2-3. Enter the North Tower, take the
elevator to level B. It is near the cafeteria.

Parking in the garage is free. Take a ticket when you enter and

to come to the meeting late, than not at all, but please make a
