We have organised an informal get-together for all Narcolepsy sufferers and their families, friends or anybody who is interested in the subject.
DATE : SATURDAY, JUNE 12TH, 2010.
TIME : 1.30 p.m. TO 4.00 p.m.
VENUE : DANDELION CAFE BAR AND RESTAURANT , St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2.
The idea is to chat about our experiences and exchange coping mechanisms that we use in our daily lives. Sleepy-Heads and family members of all ages are welcome.
As Narcolepsy is an uncommon condition, most of us have no contact with other sufferers. This has the effect of making us feel isolated and alone. It is also very difficult to explain our symptoms to non-sufferers as there are so many idiosyncrasies that define us as Narcoleptics.
As a committee, we have met a number of times and always end up discussing our personal experiences after meetings. We came to the realisation that we learn so much from each other that it would be a worthwhile exercise to hold a meet and greet session where we could all get together for a chat in an informal setting.
Dandelion is situated on the Grafton Street Side of Stephen's Green, between the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre and the Fitzwilliam Hotel.
It has a full bar and also serves tea/coffee. There is an extensive, reasonably priced bar menu. It also has a full restaurant, should anybody choose to avail of it.
So, put the date in your diary. Myself and the other Committee Members - Sheila and Orla - are looking forward to meeting you there !
