We're in, new phone number 559.439.2183.  We are located at 323 W Cromwell Ave, Suite 112, Fresno CA  93711.  Office hours beginning March 5, 2012 are 10:00AM - 3:00PM Monday-Wednesday-Friday and by appointment.  The goal is to be open Monday - Friday by April 1st.  Volunteers can find various ways to donate their time.  Come by the office.

2012 is proving to be an exciting and challenging year for S.O.S.  We are in the process of growing our volunteer base  so we can fulfill our needs.   The new formation of the committees completed the organizational plan.  Planning Meetings are held at 5:30 on the second Monday of each month at the Saint Agnes Cancer Center (NE corner of Herndon and Millbrook).  You can contact Janet Ames, 696-6525, pinkpower2002@hotmail.com  if you need help selecting a committee suited to your interests,  Janet is our Membership Committee Chair and she looks forward to working with you.

The BOD approved a trial year for the office and that began February 15th, clock is ticking.  We must prove the necessity of this office.  Office is designed to enhance comminuty awareness, validate our organization and efforts, provide a central office/storage area for all volunteers, provide better service to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and survivors and encourage volunteerism.  The office also has a conference room for BOD meetings, volunteer orientation/ training, committee meetings, tote assemblies, and provide space for the many activities we prepare for throughout the year.  
Our mission remains the same:  Sisterhood of Survivors is committed to assisting newly diagnosed breast cancer patients and survivors.

Julie Tipps has volunteered to decorate and organize the new office. If you want to join her or share ideas, you can contact Julie at 787-3294, tippsjr@gmail.com.  We have updated our wish list below.
