We are so very thankful for the educational and fun variety that our wonderful staff, contract and volunteer facilitators have been able to provide for our cancer support community. The following is a recap of the workshops, lectures and other clubhouse activities that were offered to our members and guests during the 2007-2008 Fiscal Year, thanks to the support of our wonderful donors.
