The chapter needs people to help out, and there are many ways that you can make a personal contribution. To get started, please call 718-224-2999 (press 0 for operator) or e-mail us at ts@tsact.org. You can also complete the online information request form.

Some ideas (come up with your own):

• Share your news.
  Achieve a measure of fame and write something for our newsletter or the Web site. Personal vignettes about Tourette Syndrome, success stories about your TS child or poetry created by your child are great ways to touch people in our chapter. And don't worry if your writing is a bit rusty. Our editor will help to make you look great.
• Volunteer some time.
  This can be one-off, say, pitching in at a special event, or ongoing. You can even organize your own special event.
• Start a support group.
  Anyone can organize a group. You don't need to have professional training, just a willingness to share your experiences about TS. We'll help you to get started.
• Join the board.
  People with special interests or skills enhance the chapter's ability to serve the TS community. Board members offer a regular commitment of time, but it's not like getting a second job. You can make an important contribution by devoting a few hours here and there.
