TIME OUT WITH LOIS: The key to dealing with change

Published on Fri, 08/19/2016 - 4:58pm

The first trip on my fall speaking schedule was a Relay for Life event for the American Cancer Society in Hardin, Montana. A new format for this annual fundraiser for a cancer cure was a community dinner instead of a walk. The focus was on survivors and caregivers. Those who lost their battle with cancer were honored by the lighting of luminaries and a video presentation. The committee did a great job, the dinner was delicious, the entertainment fun and the program very inspirational. Sometimes change is good. I was glad to have a part in it.
