SUMMARY:CSF NEWSLETTER: AUGUST 2024
DESCRIPTION:Hello Everyone\nThe days are already getting shorter! The early mornings are dark and I struggle to know whether it’s time to get up or not. The other evening\, I was well and truly cheated out of my sunbathing time when the sun disappeared behind next door’s roof at 6.15. The blackbird was happy though. He sat up in the oak tree and sang his heart out\, enjoying the cool of the evening. \nHave a look at our new-look CSF website. I’m ashamed to say I have only just discovered it. The link will bring up the home page where you’ll find a few very interesting articles and\, using the drop-downs\, you can easily navigate your way to national and local news. If you’ve got time\, why not give it a go. Put your alarm on though in case you get carried away! \n\nDrop Ins\n** Tombola Prizes\nFor our Fête Octobre Rose this year we will need prizes. If you have a bottle or an unwanted gift\, why not bring it along to us at one of our Drop Ins ** (see below for details) \n\n\nWednesday 7 August\, Pablo’s Bar\, Céret\, 10.30 \nCome along for coffee and chat. There will also be books of course and Céret is a great place to meet up with friends.\nMonday 19 August\, Café des Artistes\, Laroque des Albères\, 10.15 \nCome and have a browse through our large selection of paperbacks. Any books you bring along for exchange will be gratefully received. We can’t take hardbacks or non-fiction books I’m afraid. Bring a friend and stay for coffee.\nWednesday 21 August\, Villa Lafabrègue\, Prades \nNo Drop In this month\n\nLooking ahead\nOctober Rose – Les Jeudis Roses de la Clinique 2024\, Oct 3\, 10\, 17 & 24 : 11am – 4pm \n4 Thursdays of talks\, workshops and conferences about breast cancer \n🎗 To support Pink October\, the SOA (Soins d’Onco-Accompagnement) joins with PINK THURSDAYS in Perpignan at the Clinique St Pierre. \nSOA 66\, based in Perpignan\, offers support to people with cancer throughout the Pyrénées-Orientales. It gives supportive care to patients being treated in Oncology and/or Hematology in the form of alternative\, complementary care\, as well as financial support. The objective is to inform patients\, health professionals and visitors of the actions proposed by the association. \nA detailed programme will be available later on in the year. \nCSF will have a stand and we’ll be handing out leaflets and chatting mostly to medical people\, letting them know what CSF is about and how we can help English speaking patients. \nThank you to those who have volunteered to help out but we could still do with one or two others so if anyone can do an hour or two in the morning or afternoon\, we’d very much appreciate it. Please contact Phil O’Neill philomeneoneill@gmail.com \nSaturday 5 October\, Fête October Rose\, 12pm \nOur Autumn event this year will be a LUNCH AT THE DOMAINE MAS ALART. This vineyard\, set in the heart of the Roussillon plain\, has been there since 1897. \nAs you know\, the Octobre Rose campaign makes it possible to raise awareness and inform and encourage screening in the fight against breast cancer. As our event takes place at this particular time of year\, we thought it would be appropriate to name it Fête October Rose. \nThe afternoon will begin with a fizzy apéro and continue with lunch – Tapas followed by Paella and a dessert. Wine will be served of course and there will be music from our friends Zircon. Dancing will be encouraged. There will be prizes to be won on the Tombola** plus a surprise draw at the end. Fun for everyone. \nEntrance is by ticket only and the cost is 20€. Tickets will be on sale at the end of August. \n**Our Tombola table is always a great way of raising a bit of money. All the prizes are donated items and we are asking you\, if you can\, to please donate – bottles of wine or water\, jam or beer\, unwanted gifts or anything you think you yourself might like to win! Your donations will be gratefully received at any of our Drop Ins\, or just email me and I will arrange pick up. Thank you. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nPlease remember that if anyone is struggling or needing help\, the CSF telephone and email helplines are always open.   We are there for everyone needing assistance at this time as well as for those affected by cancer. There is also lots of information on our website.\n\n\n\n\n\nDiana Eastaff \nShare this:\n				Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n\n	Related\n
