Bring a friend and “step in line” for a fun and informative evening of line dancing, refreshments, and insightful women’s health education. It’s free and includes a light dinner at the Club Fit Café in Jefferson Valley.
First, Judith Leger, a Woman’s Health Nurse Practitioner with many years of experience helping women tune into their health care needs, will offer guidance on how to listen to your own body and how to make the most of your doctor’s visits.
You will be able to meet with representatives from both Support Connection and SHARE, who will provide information about the groups’ services. SHARE is a not-for profit organization based in New York, NY that has been providing peer-led support services free of charge to women with breast or ovarian cancer, their families and friends for 31 years.
Then “shake it up” for fun and fitness with line dancing instructor Skip Earle, an award-winning “Dance Educator” who has taught line dancing locally and nationally. From the Electric Slide to the Boot Scootin Boogie, with Skip leading the way, having two left feet and no experience is not a problem!

The second half of this teleconference will include highlights and information from the Eleventh Annual Ovarian Cancer National Alliance Conference in Washington, DC. Support Connection staff and/or volunteers who attended the conference in July 2008 will join the discussion to share what they learned from presentations by world renowned speakers, medical professionals and researchers.
