For people with (and supporters of) CFIDS/ME. Our "newcomer's" meetings provide an opportunity to meet other CFIDS/FMS patients and informally share information and hugs. Our speaker's meetings bring a talented member of the community to you to discuss one of a variety of (hopefully) helpful perspectives in the management of CFIDS/FMS.

Meetings
A regular support group meeting is held 6 times a year on Wednesdays evenings from 6-7 PM. We especially encourage newcomers to come to these meetings. These Newcomer/sharing meetings are held the 1st Wednesday of February, April, June, Aug, October and December.
resentations by speakers on various topics are held several times a year on the afternoon of the second Saturday of a month. Speaker meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday of January, March, May, September and November. Please call the hotline to confirm any meeting and to find out exact meeting times!
