Several Board members jumped at the chance to see Sheryl Crowe LIVE at the Wiltern Theatre Oct 12th. We loved all 2 hours of her! Here's a blurb from Yoplait's press release explaining the event -
"This year marks the milestone 10th anniversary of Save Lids to Save Lives®, Yoplait®’s signature pink lid program, which calls for men and women to take action to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer. To date, Yoplait has donated more than $19 million to the breast cancer cause. As part of this year’s awareness-raising efforts, Yoplait will celebrate 10 years of dedication to the fight against the disease by hosting an anniversary concert featuring breast cancer survivor/music icon Sheryl Crow." -

Nov 2 – Whittier speaker confirmed: Vicky Figueroa
My name is Victor Escobedo. I am a 12 &under girls fast-pitch softball coach from Whittier, Ca. The reason why I am writing you is to inform you of the following. My sister-in-law has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery on Sept 25th to remove her right breast. It has not been an easy road for our family especially getting medical authorizations for ultra-sounds, an MRI, and doctor's visits since she has medi-cal insurance. On Sunday Nov 2, 2008 at 9:30am our girls softball team named "12U SoCal Next Level" along with another Whittier team named "The 12U West-Coast Voodoo" will host a benefit double-header softball game at Cerritos High School in Cerritos CA. This benefit game will be played in honor of my sister-in-law Lily Gomez and will also be held to make people aware of breast cancer. We are inviting your organization to our benefit and would greatly appreciate if someone could give a short breast awareness informative speech, if possible.

Nov 4, 6, 13, OR 20
I am writing on behalf of the Student Government Association of Alliant International University in Alhambra. I am writing to invite someone from your organization to speak to clinical psychology students here on our campus about the experience of breast cancer.
As clinicians-in-training, we are dedicated to increasing our knowledge and cultural competency of underserved communities, and to learn from someone or from an organization that represents a leading cause of death in women, especially minority women, and to learn about ways that we as clinicians can be advocates, would be extremely edifying for students.
We have November 4 from 12-1 for a lunch, or the 6th , 13th and 20th available either from 12-1 for lunch or a 5-7 dinner. We'd be delighted to hear about issues related to breast cancer and their affects on families, women, and minorities, and also how people at our school can be involved as clinicians or as citizens.

Our 2008 Wellness Retreat and Speakers Training
As speakers bureau chair, I was deeply moved by the caliber of men & women who showed up at Redondo Beach's Crown Plaza Hotel for a full day of training, yoga, beach walking, and networking. All 17 volunteers shared amazing stories of fears, challenges, losses, courage, and triumphs throughout the day as I passed on my speaking knowledge. Our agenda included presentations from our Board president, Cynthia Chambers; Board member/affiliate founder Linda Pura; Grant recipient administrative supervisor MaryAnn Robertson of Marcia Ray Breast Center at Glendale Memorial Hospital; Stage 4 breast cancer survivor Stefanie LaRue; Education co-chair Vicky Figueroa; and yours truly.Enjoy the photos from the retreat! What a splendid day! Thank you beautiful Yvette for your yoga session. Yvette teaches at Yogaworks in South Bay (El Segundo). She soothed our souls and calmed our stresses in the early morning sun. Wonderful!
