Sarcoma Talk and Together Time
Enjoying conversion at the Winter Gathering
There is great value in getting together with others who share your life experiences. Especially when that experience is something as rare as Sarcoma.
Rein in Sarcoma is introducing a monthly Sarcoma Talk and Together Time, the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 10 am, beginning May 14. All gatherings will be held at Rein in Sarcoma’s offices, 7401 Central Avenue NE, Suite A, Fridley, MN, telephone 763-205-1467.
Our first meeting will be a time for self-introductions and histories, and compiling topics for upcoming meetings. Each month, participants will select from these topics for conversation, with some time open for individual introductions and check-ins. Each meeting will be participant-directed, facilitation only to keep everyone on track and on schedule.
Vicki Strong, a nine-year, Stage 4 leiomyosarcoma (LMS) survivor will be the facilitator. She is a certified cancer coach, a board member for an international LMS Foundation, and a moderator for three Facebook support groups. You may contact Vicki at 651-730-5049 with questions or topical suggestions. Please leave a message with your contact information.
No RSVP needed, come as you are able!
