ALOPECIA AREATA:
Alopecia Areata: an auto-immune disease which causes loss of hair on the scalp and elsewhere. It occurs in both adults and children. This disease may have a profound effect on one's life and one's functional status both at work and at school.
Alopecia Areata affects more than 4 million people in the United States. In it's most severe form, Alopecia Universalis, all hair on the entire body is lost so that the scalp is unprotected from the sun and elements, the eyes are unprotected from dust and glare, and the nose and sinuses are unprotected from foreign particles and bacteria.

Here is a list of our next meeting dates and times.

At the current time I am working on the Bowlathon details. I will post the date, time and place. I am also working on CFFI, Computers For Families Inc. My newest way to help Society by giving out computers to families with at least one child. This still has alot of paperwork to go thru, anyone knowing anything how the government works should know this, and I will have more on this as it develops. Currently it will be at least 5 months or more before I have the website up and running but hey, I can only do so much by myself, lol.
I currently have the business bylines finished. Wow was that a job, now to get the Articles of incorporation written. That is going to be a job in itself. There is still alot ow paperwork to do but I am slowely plugging along at it.

I am currently working for Garry's Lawn service out of Augusta, Kansas. As the name implies, we mow lawns and do basic landscaping. It is a great job but we work 7 days a week except on rainy days. We go to Harrah's to gamble on some of those rainy days, so as you can see, the perks of the job are really good.
