Starry Night will be a fabulous gala with food, drink, entertainment, and a silent auction. That’s where you come in  ....

Second, help us make this a night to remember by volunteering.  Marcia Hoffman <sungoddess47@hotmail.com> is the general chair of the Gala Committee.  If you have specific skills or interest please email Marcia with that information. This will be a special event if each of us steps up to help.  If you can help with the auctions by organizing or soliciting donations, contact Michele Chandler at <mchandlerlmsw@sbcglobal.net> or 762-3663.

NCJW LUNCH BUNCH / Learn about Breast Cancer Legislative Priorities, Tuesday, October 23rd, 11:15 am, The Brick Oven (Arboretum).
Who amongst us doesn't know someone affected by Breast Cancer?  A woman has a 1-in-8 lifetime chance of contracting this disease.  Twenty years ago, the lifetime risk was 1-in-16. In some areas today it is less than 1-in-8. Why?  Only good science will get us an answer and a cure, not only for Breast Cancer but for all hormonally related cancers.  Come and learn about legislative priorities of the National Breast Cancer Coalition and the fight to fund good science.  The National Breast Cancer Coalition is an umbrella organization of many breast cancer organizations: Komen, Y-me, Breast Cancer Action, Young Survivors Coalition, Alamo Breast Cancer Foundation, and many more.  The October Lunch Bunch will include a discussion of this vital topic on Tuesday, October 23rd at 11:15 at The Brick Oven near the Arboretum.  This lunch is open to all who are interested, so please rsvp to Judith Gedalia at <gedalijudy@yahoo.com> or 713-208-6600.
