Hello everyone and welcome to our Friday update.

Personal Identifiable Information

I have noticed lately that members are sharing personally identifiable
information. That is, information that can be used on its own or with other
information to identify, contact, or locate a person. This includes information
such as first and last name, suburb you live in, phone numbers and
photos.  

Keep in mind that whilst the private groups are private, the general
network areas are public and can be viewed by anyone and can also show up in
Google searches. As moderators, we try very hard to protect your personally
identifiable information for your safety and security.  To ensure your
privacy we will edit out full names, phone numbers and other information that
may identify you.  When signing off on posts, we encourage you to use your
username and not your real name.  If you
have any concerns don’t hesitate to contact me @Giovanna_BCNA.

Categories

Under Categories, on the right hand side of the forum
screen, you will notice a tab titled Online Community Info.  If you click on this tab you will find our
updated Community Guidelines and a Navigating the online community guide.  It would be great if you could review the
updated guides and be familiar with them.

Lymphoedema Support Group of SA (LSGSA) 
    

The LSGSA has received advice that the Member for Mt
Gambier, the Hon. Troy Bell raised a Motion in the House of Assembly on
Wednesday 19 September 2018.   

The issue raised was the lack
of Garment subsidies and public services for Lymphoedema patients to the
Members of the lower house.

The event has passed, but you can still show your support by
contacting your local MP requesting they support Mr Bell's Motion OR you can
like and comment on our post about this on our Facebook page.

Let's show that SA Lymphoedema patients matter too!

Warm Regards,
