WHAT ARE WE DOING? We're having fun, noshing great food, phone banking for better health-care coverage, and, above all, supporting Kim Yaman (aka MsSpentyouth here at Blue NC and DailyKos) as she fights the restrictions of her health insurance to get treatment for Cushing's disease.

WHAT DO I BRING?: A healthy appetite for health-care reform and a dish to share.

1. If your name begins with A-O, bring an entree. If your name begins with P-Z, bring dessert.
2. a fully-charged cell phone and a burning desire to move the healthcare reform mountain.
3. an extra cell-phone charger and/or laptop if you've got 'em

WHAT'S THE AFTERNOON'S AGENDA?:

• Introduction to the OFA NC staff and lead volunteers
• Short teleconference with national OFA leader
• Kim's story: "I can't afford this diagnosis, even with my insurance"
• "Five MYTHS, Five FACTS" training
• Eat, call, and be merry!
