A plaque will accompany the photo essay in the galleries where it is displayed and the back of each calendar will indicate that the photo essay is in her memory. More information about the photo essay and the opening night reception in New York will be available in the coming weeks on our web page. Nancy and her committee are also working on a number of intervention programs geared towards younger women. Hair and Nail salons, after school programs and college campuses will be targeted for these seminars and outreach projects. Spread the word.
Awareness is about talking about the issue.
Almost all of us get on the phone and ask each other about our jobs, our families and our significant others. Ask your friends if they have done their monthly breast self examinations. If you have friends who have a history of breast cancer in their family, ask them if they are speaking with their doctors about when they should begin mammogram screening. For those of you who live in the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia areas, we need volunteers. Many of the programs we have on line for 2001 require volunteers to go out and be active on the weekends and in the evenings.
