Breast cancer One in ten Canadian women will experience breast cancer in their lifetime. In Prince Edward Island alone, an estimated 75 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. How- ever, more than 2/3 of these women will sur- vive. The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based organization of volunteers, whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer, through fundraising, research, education and influence on public policy. | On Saturday, October 30th from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, the PEI Division of the Canadian Cancer Society is sponsoring a public forum to promote that “October is Breast Health Month” featuring three leading experts in the field. Dr. Dagny Dryer, a Medical Oncologist from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, will discuss the various methods of treatment and the stages from prevention and early detection to recovery. A breast cancer survivor, Dr. Robin Moore- Orr from Memorial University in Newfound- land, will discuss the effects that cancer may have in the areas of family, coping, sexuality, nutrition, and the patient’s role in decision making. The latest Canadian research activities will highlight an address by Dr. Ron Buick, the Vice President of Research at the Ontario Cancer Institute. He will also speak about risk factors, genetic links, when results are expected, and what women can do to help themselves. Following a short break, the audience will have an opportunity to directly ask these spe- cialists any questions they have about this important woman’s issue of the ‘90’s, Breast Health. Everyone interested is welcome to attend the October 30th forum at Duffy amphitheatre On the UPEI campus. Together Cancer Can Be Beaten Contact Jayne Yeo at 566-4007.

Memo: Community Notices Re: Self help crafts of the world, third annual opening From: Martha Burka, RR4, Cornwall, COA |HO (566-4754) WE'RE BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON! SELFHELP CRAFTS OF THE WORLD THIRD ANNUAL STORE OPENING SELFHELP is a branch of the Mennonite Central Committee, a North American-wide church organization devoted to aid and development in the Third World. Through our volunteer mar- keting of fine handmade crafts we offer a chance for disadvantaged women, handicapped persons and co-operatives to sell their goods here. In 1992, our small Cornwall outlet was able, with the help of many volunteers, to sell enough crafts to support approximately 25 overseas families for a year. This year we are excited about the wonder- ful selection of crafts-beautiful baskets, nativity sets, Christmas decorations unlike anything you have seen before, carvings, jewellery and much more. Because we rely on volunteers we can offer these crafts at very reasonable prices and pass on most of the purchase price to the producers. Through hard work and sharing a part of their culture the producers gain dignity, the ability to provide for their families, and hope for the future. That enriches us all. SELFHELP CRAFTS OF THE WORLD Location: Cornwall, lower level of the Pharmacy Hours: Monday through Saturday 10:00-5:00 Thursday and Friday until 7:30 Dates: Opening October 12 until mid-Decem- ber. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please call Pam Martin (566-2702) or Rosella Friesen (892-1493) if you have any questions or need clarification of any points. There is also room for volunteers: if you wish to volunteer, please call Pam or Rosella for information. Psych club update Hello all... Welcome back to another year at UPEI!!
