Featured Volunteer
Hip, Hip, Hooray for Rick Mart, who volunteers for a whole host of
activities at the Center. He helps clean up after lunch by bringing items
into the kitchen, moving tables/chairs, handling the
garbage bins. He helps the Senior Singers with a
variety of things, including setting up, getting music
organized, unlocking the piano, etc. Rick is always on
alert for areas he can help and is always willing to help
when asked. All of us in the office would have to work
much harder if not for Mr. Mart! Thank you Rick for your assistance,
always willing attitude, and welcoming smile!
Reminder - Nominations Please! - Please take a moment to pick up a nomination
form for our “Featured Volunteer” and nominate someone who helps make the center a
better place. *Let us know why you are nominating the person!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to
increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer,
many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages
and encourage others to do the same. The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.
has made a lot of progress but still has a long way to go and needs your help!!!
Create an Early Detection Plan and invite
others to do the same.
Share Beyond The
Shock, our breast cancer educational resource, with friends
and family.
Host a Fundraiser to
help provide mammograms for women in
need.
