Nothing like an 11th hour invite. My bad. I'm disgusted with myself to get this info out so late but I have not been well since returning from California last week. I am teetering on the brink of a herx and am not well enough to attend tonight's viewing but I certainly encourage anyone who can to please go! I have seen this movie twice and I found it both informative and hope-inspiring.

Release

We are having a showing of Under Our Skin at the Vancouver Public Library in the Alice McKay room on January 26th. This is the first public screening in Vancouver.

The event will run from 7:00pm to 10:00pm and will feature guest speakers MLA Adrian Dix (Health Critic for the NDP) and Victoria MLA David Cubberley .

It is very exciting to have Adrian Dix joining David Cubberley at this event. David Cubberley is one of the strongest advocates for Lyme disease patients in British Columbia if not Canada, but unfortunately for us he is not running again in the next provincial election.

The room holds 300 and we are hoping to send a strong message and fill every seat.

Please join us for an informative and important evening. A strong showing at this event will help send a message to Victoria that this is an important issue - and one which is not going to go away. This is doubly important because we are just 4 months away from a provincial election.

The Vancouver Public Library is centrally located in downtown Vancouver right near the skytrain station. See http://www.vpl.vancouver.bc.ca/branches/details/central_library
