Lyme Disease Support Network of Middle Tennessee

 http://www.tnlyme.org
 This organization provides information and support for people who have (or might have) Lyme Disease and other tick-borne related illnesses.  Lyme Disease is becoming more and more common in Tennessee.  The disease is spread by tick bites, but it can be hard to diagnose and treat.  Early symptoms can include rashes, fever, malaise, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint aches, and others.  Later symptoms (which can occur a month or more after the tick bite) can include fatigue, muscle pain, joint pain with or without arthritis, numbness, tingling, burning, itching, tremor, muscle twitching, Bell's palsy, vision problems (e.g., double vision), sensitivity to light or motion or sound, balance problems, short-term memory loss, sleep disturbance, nausea or vomiting, and others. The support group holds monthly meetings.  Please click on the link above for additional information, including dates, times and location of meetings.  The photo above is of a deer tick, one of the major carriers of Lyme Disease.

Sumner County Foster Care Association
President: Tina Brown
(615) 325-4251 (Voice)
Email:  brown1904@bellsouth.net
A quote from a foster parent: "My husband and I are among a growing population of foster parents in Portland.  We have been foster parents for two years now.  We have seen a lot of kids come and go in our home.   The main goal is to have children reunited with their families.  Sometimes this is possible.  In cases where it is not, the State of Tennessee works to find the children an adoptive home.  While children are in our home, we want them to know that they are safe and loved."

Our organization meets every third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at the First Methodist Church on Main Street in Gallatin.  We provide training and a support group for our foster parents, and we all work together to help meet the needs of all the children.  Please call or e-mail Tina for more information.  Thank you.

In addition, families contribute up to 500 hours of "sweat equity" in building their home. Please see http://www.habitatsumnercounty.org for more information.
