Creating Awareness of Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence

Greetings to Each of You, and Happy Autumn:

As you may or may not know, October is Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  I am  sure each of you know someone that has been affected by at least one of them.  You are invited on Monday night, October 4, 2010, 7:00 p.m. until 8:15 p.m. to have an interactive discussion and receive resources for those in your churches and others who may benefit.  In conjunction with the Congress Biblical Institute, this session takes place on a monthly basis.  I will have plenty of educational materials available.

Note:  As the Social Service Ministry is committed to addressing social and health care needs that are prevalent in our community, we encourage you to take advantage, support, participate and share this topical information with others.  You can support by sharing even if you will be attending the Certified Congress of Christian Education Series.

In addition, in November, we will have interaction and a presentation on Medicare Part ABC and D.  Open enrollment for Part D (Prescription Drug Program takes place beginning the month of November.  Older People, those about to turn 65, on Medicare disability, and Caregivers should definitely attend.

One of the most stressful months of the year is December, we will present information pertaining to mental health; stress and depression, anxiety, how to prevent it.  Stay tuned for topics pertaining to next year, or be prepared to share interested topics as we minister to help eliminate and address our social and health care needs through forums, presentations, workshops and interactive discussions.

In discussion with our Dean, we may be partnering with Lincoln University Cooperative Extension to offer some of this information during the week day so that we can reach more of our people of wisdom (seniors/older people).  Again, stay tuned, and thanks for all that you do in serving others.  Do not hesitate to contact me if you need additional information, or wish to assist and/or present.
