Wish there was something you could do to help someone in need? Maybe you have had a similar experience, maybe you are a breast cancer survivor that could make a difference in the life of a woman just recently diagnosed and overwhelmed by all the decisions she must make. Being able to sit and talk to a breast cancer survivor shortly after your diagnosis is a tremendous comfort. By establishing committees SOS is able to accomplish more and with several on each committee our efforts are multiplied and individual time is kept to a minimum. With five committees to choose from we are sure you will find an area you will enjoy donating your time and talents to. Become a part of the fabric of your community today! - Membership Committee - Includes telephone tree with members willing to make phone calls as needed. Also this committee is in charge of seeing that birthday, thank you and thinking of you cards are sent out when needed.
- Outreach Committee - Includes scheduling our monthly luncheons (and everything involved with that such as greeters, speakers, information board update, raffle, etc.) Also this committee is in charge of our Tote Program from collecting items to assembling and preparing for future deliveries to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients.
- Connections Committee - Includes data management, newsletter, website and keeping the media informed of SOS activities.
- Ways & Means Committee - Includes fund-raising, raffles, gift baskets for SOS booths, special events and grant writing.
- Special Projects Committee - Includes organizing educational booths, establishing a public speakers pool, working on special events, developing special items such as jewelry, hats, aprons and maintaining the scrapbook/photo album
If any of these committees sparks your interest please contact us. Just think of those you could support: - The woman next door whose has had breast cancer twice.
- The executive who is learning to cope with "chemo brain".
- The woman who walks by your house everyday with the pink ribbon tattoo on her leg.
- The grandmother who's still crochets afghans.
- The 20 year old college student who wears the Harley Davidson bandanna instead of a wig.
- The employee who wonders how she will keep her job, pay her bills and take care of her child while she tries to recover.
