Once they give you a date:
- please let us know (at communications@lfnc.org)
- ask your friends/family/others in the lupus community to come too. This is a special moment and they will want to be there. ( If you can't go for some reason, please try to find someone to go to your place).
- At the meeting, take photos! And make sure to share on social media that you are there. For instagram, twitter or other social channels use the #LupusAwarenessMonth, #LupusAwareness. For twitter you may need to only use one # due to character limitations.
