Hey folks,
Before you read about the arts in Chattanooga this week, please take a
minute to read the following important information.
On Saturday, August 4th, The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation,
Chattanooga Affiliate, will present the first annual Breast Cancer
Symposium at the Chattanooga Chattanoogan Hotel Conference Center.
This event is designed to educate our community about breast cancer,
causes, treatment, research, nutrition and living with the disease or
living with someone who has the disease. Educating the public is one of the
most important aspects of the work done by the Komen Foundation.
The symposium will feature a keynote address by Lille Shockley: nurse,
administrator and breast cancer survivor. The afternoon and dinner
together cost $25.00. Here is the itinerary.
