At the request of the New Jersey CFS Association, the acting governor of New Jersey signed a proclamation recognizing May 2007 as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness Month in the state of New Jersey. You can view the actual proclamation through a link from the NJ CFS Association's web site at www.njcfsa.org.

Please contact your local media and let them know about this recognition for CFS and NJCFSA. You can use the template letter found when you follow the prompts for your zip code at "Take Action." Refer reporters to http://www.cfids.org/sparkcfs/press-room.asp for information about CFS, as well as the radio and television public service announcements that have been distributed to stations around the country through the national public awareness campaign. You can also refer them to a new fact sheet available at http://www.researchamerica.org/publications/RA-CFS_f.pdf.
