TAI_dinner_logo_3The Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut is pleased to announce a new fundraiser in affiliation with our national office called “Talk About It! @ Dinner.” This new initiative debuted with a short video on www.talkaboutit.org with actor, Greg Grunberg, TV star from the show Hero’s. TalkAboutIt.org is a new star-studded web site created “to educate the world about seizures and epilepsy on behalf of the 50 million people around the globe, who are coping with the condition”, including his oldest son. The goal of the event is to raise awareness and money for the Epilepsy Foundation and our mission of epilepsy through hosting “at-home” parties. This event is both a valuable fundraiser and public awareness campaign all wrapped into one event. All money raised will stay locally in our community. If you would like to be included in this exciting program please contact our office at (800) 899.3745.

Helping Other People with Epilepsy

Finding an interesting speaker for your meeting is not always easy.  Finding an interesting speaker with fascinating and useful information to impart - and who charges no fee - can be even more difficult.   I have a topic that I believe you and your members with both enjoy and from which you will all benefit.

The topic, of course is epilepsy, a complex and fascinating medical condition.  Although epilepsy may appear to touch few people’s lives, consider this. We all know someone with a seizure disorder.  We simply may not be aware of it. Few people are also aware that one in ten of us would know how to recognize most seizures.

The Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut’s speaking program is part of a nation project o increase awareness of epilepsy and remove the mystery that surrounds it. All speakers in the program are affected by the disorder, either directly or indirectly.  And, each is specially trained and certified in giving presentations to groups such as schools, Lions and Exchange clubs, Jaycees, and so much more.  Audiences usually come away from these presentations extremely pleased and enriched by what they have heard.

Feel free to email or call Patrick J. Danis, Program Coordinator for the Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut, to get more information and to schedule your program today.
