LYME DISEASE: A talk about Lyme & other tick-borne diseases

A friend who is a member of the Lyme Disease Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania (a family member of hers has the disease, as do so many people around here) asked me to put the word out that Pat Smith, the president of the Lyme Disease Association Inc., will be speaking at 7 p.m. Wednesday, November 12, at the Genesis building at State and Union Streets in Kennett Square. Admission is free and anyone can attend. The speaker is a longtime advocate and fundraiser for Lyme research, education and policy. Her talk is entitled "Lyme & Other Tick-Borne Diseases: A National Overview & the Role of LDA."
