Attention Camp Lejeune Marines: Informational Meetings on Water Contamination

This is your opportunity to get informed about what happened at Camp Lejeune. Meetings will be held in Pittsburgh, Pa; Troy, New York and Tampa, Florida.

Salem-News.com

(CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.) - An informational meeting about the CAMP LEJEUNE WATER CONTAMINATION effects will be held Saturday, November 6, 2010, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel, located at 107 6th Street, Pittsburgh, PA.

Between sometime in the 1950’s through 1987, the US Military improperly disposed of chemical degreasers and other toxic substances that ultimately contaminated the drinking water at Camp Lejeune. These substances have posed multiple health risks to countless military personnel, their families, and private individuals living and working near the vicinity of the base. These risks include:

• Cancers

• Reproductive disorders

• Birth defects

• Neurological problems

• Kidney and Liver disease

If you believe your health or the health of a loved one has been affected from exposure to the water at Camp Lejeune, you are invited to attend this free informational seminar. Lunch will be provided at no charge to registered guests.

We currently have 19 people registered to attend the November 6th meeting in Pittsburgh. In order to justify the expenses incurred with such a trip it will be necessary to have at least 50 people registered and confirmed by October 30th. Mike Partain and Jerry Ensminger will be giving an overview of the contamination which includes the supporting documents. Representatives from the Bell Legal Group will be present for questions during the lunch break and after the presentation.

This is your opportunity to get informed about what happened at Camp Lejeune. If you would like to receive more information about our meeting, email Vanessa Bertka at vbertka@edbelllaw.com. Please copy Mike.Partain@tftptf.com and jerry.ensminger@tftptf.com in the email. 

Additional meetings:

  • November 21, Elks Lodge, Troy, NY
  • December, exact date TBD, Tampa Florida
