Update!

Hello guys and girls! Here is the overview of today's meeting for those who did not attend! As you all know, or should know, the Relay For Life event is coming up very soon! For preparations, we invited a representative from the Relay For Life committee, Shrestha Madaan, to talk with us today. Basically, Ms. Madaan talked about the activities in the event and answered a few questions regarding the purpose and happenings of the event. She will be attending every meeting for the next few weeks to keep us updated on the Relay For Life event, so please attend the next few meetings for vital information! Moving on. Here are some coming-up events and activities:

Easter Cards: Okay! Easter is coming up very soon! For those of you who want to earn volunteer hours, now is the time to seize the opportunity! Easter is on the Sunday of spring break, which means cards need to be turned in to an officer before Friday! We are rewarding one volunteer hour for every three HANDMADE abd NICELY-DECORATED card! So, keep the cards coming!

Pennies For Patients: The Pennies for Patients is a volunteer activity in which members of the Hope Can Cure Cancer Club carry around a petite paper box and collect loose change and donations for the American Cancer Society. The donations will be added to our club account and donated as a lump sum to the American Cancer Society at the end of the year! This is one of our most successful activities as we collected nearly $3,000 last year!

Patch Adams: For those of you who often skip meetings, think about your actions twice! After spring break, our club will be showing "Patch Adams" during the lunch meetings for a few weeks. This sentimental movie is not only entertaining to watch, but also relates to cancer.

That about wraps up today's meeting! For answers to questions, don't be afraid to email us at hopecancurecancer@yahoo*com! (Change the * to a period! I'm doing this to prevent bots from sending junk mail to our yahoo account!)

Sincerely,
Christina (Webmaster)

P.S. Have a fun and exciting spring break you guys! Remember to have fun!
