Happy
Fall everyone!
Are
you enjoying cooler days? I love the fall, but when are the leaves
going to change? You do know what the fall means, don’t you? It
means October is here and all women know October is Breast Cancer
Awareness Month. I hope you all are taking care of yourselves –
even the men out there! If you want more information about breast
cancer, here are a few links that might help you and your board
members.

Cancer Prevention
Can
breastfeeding your child really help to prevent breast cancer? Find
out from the Breastfeeding/Lactation
Consultant! Don’t forget to share your stories
in our Photo Galleries. We would love to hear about Breast
Cancer Survivors
and cherish a family member or friend on the Breast
Cancer: In Memoriam photo galleries.
We
all love our pregnancies. We all love our babies (no matter how
old!) We all love our significant others but we need to love
ourselves too. Please remember to take care of you and look into
this subject. We love all of you and want you to hang around for a
long time!
