Last week, on 3/25/15, the Lymphedema Treatment Act was reintroduced. If you haven’t written your Representative since that date please do so today! It only takes a couple of minutes to use the contact form on our website.
Cosponors do not carry over from one Congress to the next, so we need everyone to contact their Representative, even if he or she was a cosponsor in the previous Congress. Click here to send your email letter now.
And for anyone who might want a fun refresher on the legislative process, here is a link to an old favorite from Schoolhouse Rock, “I’m Just A Bill.”
In other news, the following are several upcoming events we thought you would want to know about:
The Klose Lymphedema Conference will take place in Denver, CO April 9th-11th.
The Lipedema Symposium will take place in New York City, NY April 17th-18th.
The World Congress of Lymphology (WCOL) will take place in San Francisco, CA September 7th-11th, with a Patient Summit September 8th-9th. Early bird discounted registration for the Patient Summit ends April 15th, and scholarships are available, so don’t delay.
Thank you for your continued support and I hope your spring season is off to a lovely start!
