CAMINATA CONTRA EL CANCER SAYS

THANK YOU FOR WALKING WITH US IN OUR 3^RD ANNUAL CAMINATA CONTRA EL CANCER / WALK AGAINST CANCER, ON MARCH 21, 2009. ONCE AGAIN, WE ASKED FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND CONTRIBUTIONS AND ONCE AGAIN, YOU ROSE TO THE OCCASION HELPING US TO EXCEED ALL EXPECTATIONS! THE YELLOW RIBBON OF WALKERS APPROACHING THE MALECON BROUGHT TEARS TO THE EYES OF MANY COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS.

WE’D ALSO LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOME VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE FOR THEIR GENEROUS DONATIONS: CLAYTON VALLEY CONCORD SUNRISE ROTARY, JILL REINSTADLER, CATHY NAGY AND HER HOPE RISES TEAM, SEA OF CORTEZ SALT CO., OCEAN’S FLAVOR SALT CO., AND THE SAN FELIPE ROTARY CLUB. WE THANK THE LOCAL BUSINESSES WHO DONATED FABULOUS ITEMS FOR THE LIVE AUCTION WE HEARD THAT SOME WINNERS USED THEIR CERTIFICATES THE VERY SAME DAY! WE GIVE A HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS FOR THEIR TIRELESS, UNWAVERING SUPPORT OF THIS CAUSE; WE COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!

WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?? WE ARE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE THAT ON MAY 11, 2009, CAMINATA OPENED THE DOORS TO THE CENTRE DE DETECCION Y EDUCACION DEL CANCER / THE CANCER DETECTION & EDUCATION CENTRE RIGHT HERE IN SAN FELIPE. THE CENTER HAS A MAMMOGARAM MACHINE (DONATED BY THE CLAYTON VALLEY CONCORDE SUNRISE ROTARY), AND PROVIDES SERVICES FOR THE EARLY DECTECTION OF BREAST AND CERVICAL CANCER. WE WILL BE DOING CANCER AWARENESS EDUCATION PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT SAN FELIPE AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN YOU; THERE WILL BE PSA TESTING AVAILABLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

ALL OF THIS IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF YOU AND THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WORDS TO TELL YOU HOW VERY MUCH YOU ARE APPRECIATED. YOU ARE PART OF SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL AND WE ARE PROUD AND HAPPY TO HAVE YOU SHARE IN THIS WITH US.
