MCS Awareness Month 2010

MCS Awareness Month 2010
http://mcs-america.org/February2010pg23456.pdf

May 2010 is fast approaching. Each May Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Awareness and Education Month is observed in the United States. 
 
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) affects over 48 million men, women, and children of all races.  Even though MCS is of widespread epidemic prevalence, public awareness of the toxicity of common environmental insults and ways to manage and accommodate MCS remain limited. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Awareness Month, May 2010, bestows upon us a great opportunity to work towards increased public awareness of MCS.
 
Organizations around the world have put forth great effort to establish May of each year as either Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Awareness Month or Toxic Injury Awareness Month. Many are working to improve awareness and appropriate healthcare around the world.  Activities are organized around the month of May and continue throughout the year.  MCS America plays a special role during this time and is committed to promoting awareness of toxic chemicals which may cause MCS and trigger reactions in those already injured by toxic chemicals.
 
This first part of the year is dedicated to planning for individuals and organizations in the U.S. to hold local events during May for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Awareness Month and beyond. We provide numerous ideas for promoting awareness, educating others, increasing recognition, and planning community events. We provide many editable sample materials which may be downloaded and used locally.
 
Thousands of multiple chemical sensitivity awareness events are expected to take place across the United States this May. MCS America can help publicize your event on news feeds, blogs, newspapers, our newsletter, and other venues. Submit your event to admin@mcs-america.org. We value your feedback on the usefulness of our sample materials and welcome suggestions for future materials.
 
Thank you for any and all efforts towards increased awareness in your locality. We look forward to assisting you in any way we can. Working together, we can help America to take control of toxic chemicals and eradicate multiple chemical sensitivity.  Several ideas may be found on the next few pages of this newsletter, or download our complete event planning kit from:
