CSF NEWSLETTER: OCTOBER 2024
1st September 2024 - 30th September 2024
Event Navigation

Hello Everyone
It’s the time of year when you stand dithering in front of the cupboard wondering whether to pack the summer tops away or get the winter jumpers out. It’s warm today though and I’ve given those spiky agapanthus heads a good shaking and collected the last of the seeds for sowing. You can never have too many of these beautiful blue African lilies. They are forever grateful (as my mother used to say) – dark green leaves and plump little roots which seem to exist just below the surface of the soil on a few drops of rain and full sun.

🎗 To support Pink October, the SOA (Soins d’Onco-Accompagnement) joins with PINK THURSDAYS in Perpignan at the Clinique St Pierre.
SOA 66, based in Perpignan, offers support to people with cancer throughout the Pyrénées-Orientales.
On the CSF stand 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.
Thank you to those who have volunteered to help out. 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
Check out the detailed programme here.
Friday 4 October, Breast Cancer Awareness Day, Centre Hospitalier Perpignan, 10am – 3pm
Saturday 5 October, Fête October Rose, 12pm
Our Autumn event this year will be a LUNCH AT THE DOMAINE MAS ALART. This vineyard has been there since 1897 and is set in the heart of the Roussillon plain.
As 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.
The afternoon will begin with an 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.
Tickets cost 20€
You can email me for tickets (eastaffdiana@gmail.com) or buy them at any of our events. Remember to bring your tickets with you on the day and also some cash for the Tombola!
We would be very grateful for your donations for our Tombola table. Anything in a bottle or jar. Unwanted gifts: Candles, soaps, bath oils etc. Just email me and I will arrange pick up. Thank you
Please 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. |
