Plagiarized from Jim Broatch of RSDSA: Supporting the CRPS Community

I have no shame.  This is straight from my gmail inbox.  May it inspire some CRPSer out there with the enthusiasm to volunteer, to fundraise, and become a glorious inspiration to us layabouts.  Had I a dependable bone in my body, I'd volunteer to write, edit, or proofread for the new electronic newsletter.  Since I don't, I'll pass along Jim's good words.

Seeking Volunteer Writers, Editors, and Proofreaders for RSDSA Community Update In September RSDSA published the inaugural issue of the RSDSA Community Update, our new electronic newsletter. RSDSA has hired Jessica Begley to serve as the Managing Editor. Jessica is interested in building a team of volunteer contributing writers, editors, proofreaders, and individuals familiar with html production to help publish the RSDSA Community Update. Our intention is to publish the newsletter on a bi-monthly basis. Our next issue is scheduled to be published in mid-December. If you are interested in joining our team, please send an email to Jim Broatch at info@rsds.org. November November is Worldwide  RSD/CRPS Awareness Month - Please Donate Now! Month of November RSDSA is partnering with Christa Whightsel from RSD/CRPS Doesn't Own Me for this month-long campaign. You can help others affected by CRPS/RSD through the Patient Assistance Fund in honor of Brad Jenkins! Join us as we provide much needed support to our brothers and sisters who lack financial resources for daily needs such as heating oil, medical equipment, and help with medical costs. We all know medical care is expensive and so many go without because they cannot afford a doctor visit. The Patient Assistance Fund in honor of Brad Jenkins provides hope and access to quality care. We are all in this together! Help others that need your support by donating to the RSDSA Patient Assistance Fund in Honor of Brad Jenkins.
