Friend, Happy Holidays! Yes, the Holidays are here! Hanukkah begins this weekend and Christmas is not far behind – then it is 2019. The holidays are known as the season of giving – and we hope you will remember LSI. We hope you remember that LSI is the only organization catering to the lupus community in Illinois. We provide assistance to anyone with a lupus-related concern. We hope you remember that LSI provides financial assistance for lupus-related medical expenses to those in need. We hope you remember that LSI provides all of our mission related activities at no cost to participants. And we hope you remember that LSI is here for you too, if you need us. Our goal is to improve lives. We are only able to do that with your support. Please consider making a year-end donation to the LSI. As we look back at our year here at LSI we recognize our accomplishments – successful educational events, increased lupus awareness and continuing support opportunities – and we keep an eye on the future. We have some exciting things planned for 2019 and we look forward to sharing them with you. The newsletter below has information on past events, upcoming events and the results of our support of Dr. Rosalind Ramsey Goldman's research. We are expanding and it is all thanks to you – our supporters. Together we make a difference. Mary Dollear
