TO  ALL  SLEEPY-HEAD  MEMBERS
 
 
At our last meeting, the Committee, decided to issue ID cards to all members who wish to have them.  Many of you have asked for them, so we expect quite a number to avail of this.  These are useful in many situations, e.g. travelling by plane (Narcoleptics should sit in a window seat), for school, college, etc. The cards will take the form of a laminated card with photograph..

PLEASE NOTE  :  We would advise against having ID cards on display while driving as, in the event of an accident, the other party could use it against us.  Whilst on the subject of driving, you must declare to your Insurance Company that you suffer from Narcolepsy.  Usually the Insurance Company requests a letter from your Doctor saying that you are capable of driving and they don't impose a levy.  However, in the event of non-disclosure, your policy could be declared null and void
.
I will have a limited number of forms available on Saturday for those wishing to avail of the ID cards.  You may also apply by post, stating your name and address and enclosing a passport PHOTO.   We would also request that you enclose a Stamped Self-Addressed Envelope as otherwise I will have to pay for the postage personally !!  The cards will be sent out within a few days.

You can post your applications to :   Miriam Lanigan

                                                            Dublin  14,

We are offering this to all our members who wish to take advantage of this service free of
charge.
