Rockin' and Rollin'

Good Friday Morning!! It's Kelly here updating the blog with lots and lots of fun and exciting information. As I mentioned in the previos post, we have lots and lots of activities planned for this year and we are thrilled to share them with you guys. Let me just list them off as lists are my favorite thing to make!

MEETINGS:
Feb 11 - guest speaker Beverly P. - she is an oncology nurse that works at the Vanderbilt Cancer Clinic who will come and just share some information with us and answer any questions you may have. Also, bring your children for a craft and story time with Michele - our kids' coordinator.
Feb 25 - Girls' Night Out - meet at Cherry Lane Boutique. Bring your friends for shopping and snacks! 10% of all purchases will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation in SEE Pink's name!

March 11 - guest speaker Jessie Carter - she is a physical therapist who owns High Pointe Rehab. She will come and speak to the group about exercises that will help keep the strength and mobility after lumpectomies, mastectomies, and radiation. Also, bring your children for a craft and story time with Michele.
March 25 - Girls' Night Out with Spouses and/or Support People. Beachaven Winery party room.

April - guest speaker Mary - a Nurse Practitioner who specializes in the emotional aspects of oncology. She will be speaking about coping mechanisms, what's normal and abnormal in regards to depression and anxiety throughout your journey, and life after cancer and the emotions that come then. This will be one meeting that you may want your spouse and/or support people to attend so that they too can understand better what you are feeling and so they can get some tips for coping. Again, bring your children for craft and story time with Michele.
April - Girls' Night Out at the Looking Glass.



BIG EVENTS

3 Day Walk For A Cure - In October, the SEE Pink girls will be heading to Atlanta to participate in the Susan G. Komen 60 mile walk. We will be raising money for breast cancer research and details on this will follow soon.
Relay Walk - In June, SEE Pink girls and their friends and family will be meeting at Rossview High School to walk all night to raise money for cancer research. We will set up tents, cots, lawn chairs, etc... and will walk in teams. This will be a wonderful night to honor those who have beat cancer, and to remember those who are now healed and whole in Heaven.

So you see, our plates our full and we couldn't be more excited. Please pray blessings on this group as we move forward. We love our members and are praying that we will have more women that come to us for help, support, and love.
