MACI Support Group Meetings
NOTE: While monthly meetings are scheduled, please pay attention to the email notice concerning the meeting for the specific month. Weather and other conditions such as church facility projects may force a change in the scheduled meeting. If you are not on the current list for attending meetings be sure to contact MACI the weekend prior to the scheduled meeting date.
Through its support meetings, MACI works to enhance understanding of MCS, present possible treatment modalities, and offer support for those coping with chronic illness and disability. The meeting formats include guest speakers, video presentations, and open-discussion forums. MACI does not endorse any treatment modality, service, or service provider. Tapes of all lectures given at meetings are available to borrow through the MACI lending library.
Do you have a topic or a speaker that would be of interest to MACI members? Please let us know by calling (978) 681-5117 or emailing us at MACIMCS@aol.com.
Important Reminders
All the meetings are smoke and fragrance-free! To protect our members' health, we require that clothing worn to the meetings be laundered using fragrance-free products. Please use only fragrance-free shampoos, soaps, deodorants, and cosmetic products before attending a meeting. Please avoid all cologne, perfume, essential oils, hairspray and after-shave.
Also, many of the folks who attend our meetings also have sensitivities to electrical items such as computers and cell phones. We ask that you not bring a cell phone or computer/laptop into the meeting room. Attendees are welcome to wear respirators or use oxygen.
