AASG_members -- Allergy & Asthma Support Group Members
About AASG_members	English (USA)
Dear New Member, Thank you for your interest in the Allergy and Asthma Support Group of Central New Jersey. The group was established in May of 2002 by two mothers with their allergist, Dr. Helen Skolnick of Princeton Allergy and Asthma Associates, as the medical advisor. The Support Group is for adults and parents of children with allergies, asthma or both. By sharing stories, personal experiences, wisdom, suggestions and knowledge, the group supports families and friends afflicted by life-threatening food allergies and other chronic conditions, such as asthma and environmental allergies. As volunteer parent advocates, we provide education about the medical, social and emotional aspects of allergies and asthma. Members raise public awareness through print publications and presentations about allergies and asthma to schools, policymakers, community groups and other interested audiences. We are a resource of information for anyone with food allergies, environmental allergies or asthma. The Support Group meets the first Wednesday of every month from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (except July and August) at a Central New Jersey location. For current topics and meeting location, please check out our website at http://www.allergyfriendsnj.org. The meetings vary from formal speaker presentations to informal group discussions. Meeting topics are determined by suggestions and the needs of the group. Guest speakers provide professional, expert advice on a variety of topics, such as nutrition, research and much more. We have an extensive lending library for members, including training materials, books, magazines and cookbooks. There are also social occasions for families, such as “parents’ night out” and safe (no food) parties for children featuring crafts and games. Support Group Membership dues are $20.00 per member family. Attached is a survey, which allows us to get to know our new members and their needs.
