To start this posting on a serious note, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
NBCAM is celebrating its 25th anniversary. While it promotes awareness in October, NBCAM hosts a year round website to be utilized as a resource for breast health and awareness. NBCAM remains “dedicated to educating and empowering women to take charge of their own breast health by practicing regular self-breast exams to identify any changes, scheduling regular visits and annual mammograms with their healthcare provider, adhering to prescribed treatment, and knowing the facts about recurrence.”
On a much lighter note, October is also National Cookie Month. To kick off the month
Mrs. Fields is offering a free chocolate chip cookie at participating stores from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. today. Too bad it doesn’t coincide with
Starbucks free coffee event, beginning tomorrow.
