LUPUS SK'S 3RD ANNUAL "NO SHOW EVENT"
Save the Date! June 23rd, 2017. We want to thank Jim Yuel and the group with Adventure Destinations International for being our Title Sponsor for Lupus SK's "No Show Event" the past two years. Jim and the group at Adventure Destinations International support over the past 7 years has been a huge help to keeping the Lupus SK Society viable. Jim and ADI thank you so much for your support! This year we look to other sponsors and supporters to help make the 3rd Annual "No Show Event" a success. No Show Events are something new in the corporate world. The charity continues to send out a letter requesting a monetary sponsorship, for an event that will not require expenses or volunteers. Thanks in advance for your support again this year.

There are also those who enjoy some of the Norwegian baking which Vi hersefl contributes.

Lupus Information Kit
A free Lupus Information Kit may be requested at our mailing address, toll free phone number or e-mail address listed below. The kit includes basic lupus and membership information, and a complimentary copy of our newsletter, "The Saskatchewan Lupine".
Lupus SK is proud to say that we are an almost entirely volunteer-run organization. That means a large portion of the funds raised go towards the goals in our mission statement, to provide support for those affected by lupus through understanding, education, public awareness and research. A small amount only, is used for administration. That also means that our volunteers are indispensable! Lupus SK would not exist without volunteers. That is why we need you to please consider joining our team as a volunteer.
New volunteers are always welcome and there are many ways to become involved. Let us know what your talents and interests are and we will find just the right spot for you. We have a lot of fun, we feel connected and the accomplishments are very worthwhile.
If you would like to join us, please contact Irene Driedger at idriedger@sasktel.net or 1-877-566-6123.
