The Personal Growth Committee was responsible for today's program. Emily Ruddell (Beta Phi Chapter member, retired Hartsfield teacher, and cancer survivor) gave a presentation on "Reach for Recovery", a support program for people recovering from breast cancer. She passed out bookmarks and various pamphlets. Highlights of her presentation included:

Reach for Recovery, a program made of 30 volunteer women from Tallahassee (and are one year or more breast cancer survivors), who are on-call for one week at a time as contacts for women who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer. American Cancer Society office in Tallahassee has a library full of items available for cancer patients. These items include wigs, scarves, hats, etc. Road to Recovery, a program that provides volunteer drivers who take cancer patients who don't have transportation to their treatments. Anyone can volunteer for this program and are asked to drive patients about once every six months.
