   Do you have, or have had, a condition that has affected your life, that you would be willing to share with others? If so, we would be most happy to provide you with some "interview" questions. Your "interview" would be shared on our committee pages, so that others can gain more insight and understanding, on a more personal level. If you wish, this could be shared anonymously.
   If you have questions, or think you'd be interested in doing an interview, please contact GK Jus Kuntree
   We would love to hear about other Causes that you might be aware of, so we can add them to our list.

   And we would love to have you join us here in the committee. If there are causes that you would like to learn more about, and share that information with others, we can work together to reach those goals.

Best wishes from the members of the Causes Committee!
