OUR MISSION: To provide support for those affected by LUPUS through understanding, education, public awareness and research.

When Michelle Heichert indicated that she would no longer be able to continue with her Annual Saskatchewan Golf Tournament as a fundraiser for LESS, the Board decided to organize the tournament as a Society project.

The tournament is scheduled for Thursday, September 16th, 2010, at the Willows Golf & Country Club in Saskatoon. Registration starts at 9:30 am, and the shotgun start is at 11:00 am. The entry fee is $600 per team, or $150 per person. The entry fee includes 18 holes of golf, cart, dinner buffet and a $100 tax receipt. To participate, please print and fill out our entry form and mail it along with your registration fee to Irene Driedger, Box 151, Clavet, SK S0K 0Y0.

Volunteers are also needed for working the tournament, sourcing sponsors and teams, collecting prizes, and more. For further details on how you can help with the project, please contact Lloyd Driedger at (306) 931-1063 or l.driedger@sasktel.net.

"Living Well With Lupus" Fact Booklet
LESS has undertaken an educational outreach project to provide this booklet, free of charge in Saskatchewan, to people with lupus and their families. It has already been distributed to all LESS members. Now the process to deliver it to family physicians is underway. If you would like to receive a copy, or have your physician or a physician in your area receive one, please contact Irene Driedger at (306) 931-1063 or idriedger@sasktel.net.

Lupus Information Kit
A free Lupus Information Kit may be requested at our mailing address, toll free phone number or e-mail address listed below. The kit includes basic lupus and membership information, and a complimentary copy of our newsletter, "The Saskatchewan Lupine".

LESS is proud to say that we are an entirely volunteer-run organization. That means a large portion of the funds raised go towards the goals in our mission statement, to provide support for those affected by lupus through understanding, education, public awareness and research. A small amount only, is used for administration. That also means that our volunteers are indispensable! LESS would not exist without volunteers. That is why we need you to please consider joining our team as a volunteer.

New volunteers are always welcome and there are many ways to become involved. Let us know what your talents and interests are and we will find just the right spot for you. We have a lot of fun, we feel connected and the accomplishments are very worthwhile.
