On July 13th, 100+ guests enjoyed a delightful luncheon at the Hilton Hotel. It was an occasion to honor three very special women in our community for their outstanding efforts in the fight against cancer. President, Nancy Porter conferred the title of Royal Lady upon Dr. Erin Dunbar, a UF/Shands Brain Surgeon and a 2010 and 2011 Royal Dames research grant recipient, Dr. M. Catherine Lee, Breast Surgeon at Moffitt Cancer Center, and Judy Flickinger, R.N. a volunteer at Ocala/Marion County Hospice. Each received a special pin/necklace designed by Nancy Porter, that will remind them of our admiration of their accomplishments.
Our Speaker, Dr. Johnathan Lancaster had car trouble on the highway and Dr. Catherine Lee stepped into his shoes and did an admirable job enlightening the audience of Moffitt's cancer facility. She expounded on her breast cancer patients and some of the new methods of surgery and recovery. One of these methods was implanting radiation technology into the patient while in surgery. It is proving valuable to the patient who is a candidate for this method and these patients had no side effects. Mrs. Flickinger's insight into hospice care was most enlightening.
The table decorations as well as the invitations and Program Book were in a black and white theme. The vases holding the "Thousand Stars" baby's breath were made by Lydia. She wrapped one pound tin cans in black and white ribbon with an accent ribbon in black with white polka dots. Ladies, you can do this for any season or occasion. Virginia Gamble donated a black and white dessert basket for our raffle. How fitting!
Munroe Regional Medical Center sponsored the entire event for the second year, so that all monies raised (almost $9,000) will go directly to research in our immediate area. Committee: Lois Johnson, my Co-Chair, Suzanne Smith, Chris Hildner, Jody Micilcavage, Lori Benz, Donna Crippen, Corinne DeVault, Carol Emmett, Patti Hunt, LaVerne Hope, Patricia Jordan, Nancy Karlson, Bernadeth Paraiso, Lois Price, Phyllis Silverman.

If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please pass the word to her that
there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning - once per month for 4 months while
she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange
for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these
women. It's our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care.Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along.
