A note from my friend and fellow Winnipeg blogger, Elena Anciro:

I usually keep my Lupus advocacy to my blog and twitter feed, but I've just celebrated my 5th year in the blogosphere, with the hope of increasing Lupus community input in the 6th. 

If you know anyone connected with Lupus (patients, caregivers, and loved ones alike), please share.

Please RSVP by October 15, with the subject line 'Experiencing Shakespeare RSVP'

Please join us for our first monthly Experiencing Shakespeare Reading Series, where actors, artists, students and lovers of Shakespeare can gather to share the experience of reading one of the Bard's plays aloud. 

Our first play will be Coriolanus.

It is our belief that practical workshops may spring from these gatherings.
