OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE

There is still time for cancer survivors and patients between the age of 16 and 20 to register for the 2008 Young Adult Retreat!

Held in South Bend, Indiana, from July 10-13, young adults from Indiana and Michigan get the opportunity to meet and hang out with others who have shared similar experiences. Activities include a day trip to Chicago, late-night movies, and plenty of downtime to enjoy their new friends. Don’t let a young adult miss out on this amazing opportunity.

The registration deadline is June 13. For an application, call your American Cancer Society at 1-800-723-0360 or visit www.cancer.org/retreat.

The American Cancer Society’s action alerts keep volunteers aware of the current cancer issues in government and what they can do to take action. Find out more in this month’s resource highlight.
