Fundraising Idea
A great fundriasing idea from Scott Smith, Team Recruitment Chair:
Here is a great idea that our team is using in our workplace. We took an empty 5 gallon water bottle ( for those neat water coolers) and put it at the reception desk. A sign that says" You can "Change" a Life" was put on it. People are dropping change in and it is beginning to add up. Little things - they will add up!!

New Guidelines to Reduce Cancer Risk
New Guidelines: Eat Right and Stay Active to Help Lower Cancer Risk
Article date: January 11, 2012
By Stacy Simon
Take care of your heart and help lower your cancer risk by eating smarter and being more active. The American Cancer Society has updated its guidelines for nutrition and physical activity to help you reduce your risk of cancer. And a recent study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention found that nonsmokers whose lifestyles were most consistent with Society guidelines had a significantly lower risk of dying from cancer, cardiovascular disease, or all causes combined.
You may already be following our advice. If you are not and want to make changes, try some of the tips here.
1. Achieve and maintain a healthy weight throughout life.
2. Adopt a physically active lifestyle.
3. Eat a healthy diet, with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables.
4. If you drink alcohol, limit how much you drink.
