Meeting Notice for August 18

Hi Everybody. The summer break is over and we have a meeting this Thursday as usual at the Nevada Cancer Institute, 10441 West Twain at 7:00pm...

This month is a busy one as we have several things to discuss:

1> Our Guest Speaker is Skip Lockwood. Skip is the CEO of Zero-The project to End Prostate Cancer based in Washington DC. This is a lobby group that has been working with congress to get funding for prostate cancer research. He will update us on where the money is join and give us ways to help.

2> We have a major event for our group on September 24th. UsTOO in conjunction with 21st Century Oncology, is hosting a "This One's for the Boy's" Prostate cancer awareness walk at UNLV. Proceeds with go the CARE.org (75%) and to our own chapter (25%). Already we have received an $1,846.00 contribution from 21st Century to sponsor our meetings. I want to talk to our group about ways to bring awareness to our community through a committee we need to appoint. Please come and help us with this effort...

3> The Prostate Cancer Research Institute (PCRI) is hosting their annual Summit in Los Angeles. I will be driving down to attend and if anyone wants to go, we can pay a limited number of tuitions and I will be glad to have them ride with me. I have a place to stay down there, but you may need a room at the hotel where the event is being help. UsTOO will get the tuition, you will need to get the room.

We have a very important meeting this month ~ I look forward to seeing you...
