We will be having the April meeting on Tuesday, April 13th at Fairview View in Ortonville. we will be meeting in the community room. I am hoping we can get more people to show up for the monthly meetings - there is so much that needs to be done before the walk!
The March meeting was a great success. The group wasn't large, but we had an amazing spread of food at our potluck, and we shared a wonderful supper! Although the weather wasn't great, and the fog was dense our speaker made it all the way from Minneapolis! Prostate cancer is no laughing matter obviously, but he did inject enough medical humor into his speech that it was easy to stay engaged! He and his medical group are very active in current research of prostate and bladder cancers, and I am sure they will put the donation we made to them to good use!
I hope to see you all on April 13th so we can begin planning a record breaking event!

Posted by Bette Johnson at 10:08am Did you know that prostate cancer is the most commen cancer in men? Making decisions about screening and what to do if a cancer is detected can be very confusing for men. Also, did you know that bladder cancer is the 4th most common cancer among men, and the 11th most common cancer in women?
Dr Konety will speak to the public on the subject of Prostate and Bladder cancer, and give updates on the latest guidelines for screening, the process of diagnosis and treatment options that are available. He will also discuss the risk factors for developing bladder cancer, also give us the methods of diagnosis, and the treatment options that are available.
On a lighter note - there will be a potluck supper, prior to the meeting at 6:00 pm. Team leaders, team members, and anyone wanting to get more involved with this group are encouraged to attend.
There will be luminary bags available at the meeting so that you can get a head start on your sales for this years walk!
Hope to see you there!"
