As usual the Monthly Monday is jam packed with info! ENJOY!
The Monthly Monday will be sent out once a month on the Monday
following the alumni meetings, which are held the second Wednesday

stay connected. Enjoy!

LLS Fact of the Month
One of the Chapter programs offered is The Trish Greene Back to School
Program for Children with Cancer. This program is designed to
increase communication among healthcare professionals, parents,
patients and school personnel to assure youngsters a smooth transition
from active treatment to a return to school. Printed literature,
videos and other materials to aid the process are available through
all local chapters.
