Bill and Tom Contoravdis know just about everything there is to know about baking pizza pies, concocting succulent pasta dishes and building grinders that are the stuff of local gustatory legend.
But when it comes to promoting something in the community or raising money for a good cause, the own-ers of Athens Pizza and Pasta at 959 E. Main Street will admit they know almost nothing.
So when Bill earlier this year decided that he wanted the restaurant to start a tradition by hosting a Thanksgiv-ing feed for people who would otherwise go without, something he’d had in mind for years, you’d have thought

Few things can set more tongues wagging and warm more ears than a mystery object come to light after a long, secret snooze under your floor.
Auburn’s Senior Activity Center has been lately abuzz with just such a mystery.
The story begins one recent afternoon with director Radine Lozier’s walking over a section of recently installed carpet just outside of her office, and feeling something give underfoot.
Odd, thought Lozier, there was no indenta-tion at that spot under the old carpet.
“It’s just a flush drain or something to flush out the grease trap,” a worker assured her.
“So why is it covered,” Lozier asked? “Well,” said the man, “the other people cov-
ered it up.”Lozier was not satisfied with that answer and
a city worker came out and cut the carpet. When

Murder charges in stabbing increased to first-degree By ROBERT WHALE
The King County Prosecutor has increased the charges against Scottye Miller, accused in the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, Tricia Patricelli, Oct. 30 in Auburn, from second- to first degree-murder.
Miller, 30, was arraigned Nov. 15 and pleaded not guilty to the amended charge. He remains in jail with bail set at $1 million. A case setting hearing is scheduled for December 13 at the Maleng Regional Justice Center.
The King County Prosecutor’s office had ear-lier charged Miller with second-degree murder for the stabbing death of Patricelli, 33.
Prosecutors allege Milller stabbed Patricell

more than 20 times in her home and fled.
According to informa-tion gleaned from the bail request, Miller had just been released from prison two weeks before the murder after serving a sentence for assaulting and threatening to kill Patricelli.
According to the Auburn Police Department’s state-ment of probable cause, at about 8:30 a.m. a downstairs neighbor heard a woman
screaming in Patricelli’s apartment. Shortly after that, another neighbor looked outside and saw a man, later identified as Miller, come down the stairs from Patricelli’s apartment, throw items over a fence then jump the fence and run east.
The neighbor then saw another man, Patricelli’s current boyfriend, who had discovered her body, walk down the stairs and stand outside, talking on a cell phone. The man with the
cell phone, who was talking to Patricelli’s mother, asked another neighbor to call police.
Police later found Patri-celli dead in her bathroom of numerous stab wounds.
At about 10:10 a.m., patrol officers saw a man with blood on his clothing who matched the descrip-tion of Miller and arrested him at the nearby Top Food & Drug on Auburn Way North.
During the subsequent interview, according to the
police statement, Miller told detectives that he had been involved in a romantic, dating relationship with Patricelli for about four years and that the two had previously lived together. At first, he denied stabbing Pa-tricelli, though he admitted to having sent her numer-ous texts threatening to beat and kill her. He claimed he had found her dead, but according to the police statement finally admitted that he had gone to Patri-celli’s apartment and argued
with her. According to the police statement, Miller told detectives that he had “snapped”, put on a pair of gloves, armed himself with two knives and stabbed her to death in her bathroom.
The King County Medical Examiner estimated that Patricelli had been stabbed at least 22 times in her neck, face, torso and back.
Miller has more than 15 convictions for domestic violence related offenses dating back to 2002, involv-ing Patricelli and other
victims, including convic-tions for felony harassment, fourth-degree assault, six court order violations, third-degree assault, tam-pering with a witness and telephone harassment.
Banner Bank has set up a fund for the two daugh-ters of Tricia Patricelli. To contribute, locate a Banner Bank and tell a bank official you wish to make a deposit for Tricia Patricelli. Patricel-li was the client advocate for New Connections of South King County in Kent.

he’d sweat getting the word out.
But hey, this is Auburn. And Auburn has a big
heart.Just about a quarter
mile down East Main is The Valley Barber Shop, headquarters for a group of generous men calling itself Barbers Against Hunger. The members of this five-year old organi-zation share one defin-ing character trait: none can keep still when need rages in the community.
Athens Pizza and Pasta has allowed Bar-bers Against Hunger to post fliers for its annual
food drive there. One Sunday during the drive the restaurant donates 20 percent of its receipts to BAH to support its good works.
“One day Bill told us, ‘Hey, I want to do something else this year,’ said Alex Green, one of Barbers Against Hun-ger’s founding members, though he himself is not a barber. “Bill said, ‘I see you guys out there doing something, and I want to feed the needy this year. But I’ve got no clue about going out and getting money and talking to people.’
“We told him, ‘Hey, we do these things, and
since you help us, let us do everything for you, you just cook,” Green said.
And that’s how Athens Pizza, helped by Barbers Against Hunger, and ultimately the Sports Page Bar and Grill, the Auburn Food Bank, the City of Auburn, Zolas, Albertsons, and even Office Max, found itself serving up 500 free complementary dinners on Thanksgiving Day.
“We’re the sons of a Greek Orthodox min-ister, and he taught us about the importance of giving back to the com-munity that has support-ed us all these years,” Bill
Contoravadis explained.Barbers Against
Hunger’s yearly calendar starts in May with the Ju-venile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Juvenile Diabetes Walk, continues with car washing and ends with a coat drive Dec. 16 in the parking lot between the Valley Bar-ber Shop and the Justice Center.
The group donates half of the goods it collects during the food drive to Auburn Food Bank and the other half to the multi-service center in Federal Way.
Green, an Air Force veteran and a carpenter, described how the Bar-
bers got started.“We’re all friends who
donate our money and our time. We all started doing the Juvenile Dia-betes Walk. We decided then we could also start raising money ourselves. We decided we were get-ting a little ambitious, so we narrowed our focus to Auburn and Federal Way.”
Green said he and Barbers Against Hunger President Randy Simon, who owns the Valley Barber Shop, ran around “like crazy” trying to line up donations for the Thanksgiving feed.
“The mayor was on board as soon as we brought it up to him,”
Green said of Mayor Pete Lewis. “He said, ‘What-ever you need,’ so we ended up getting tons of letters from the mayor to take to people. Since we don’t have our 501-C3, he said go to the Auburn Food Bank and they gave us their 501-C3 number. As soon as we got that, people started jump-ing on board, so all of a sudden we had all these other businesses saying ‘whatever you need.’
“We’d like to grow this thing until it’s too big for Athens Pizza shop,” Green said.
Barbers against Hunger is in the final stages of acquiring its 501-C3.

he pulled up the “cover,” what he and Lozier saw was an eyeball bugger outter — an old cylinder safe dial, embed-ded in the floor, still attached to a safe.
Seems the more ample backing of that old carpeting had protected a secret for many years.
Well then, what was a safe doing under the floor?
Who put it there?Nobody knew.But the big question on ev-
erybody’s lips — what’s in it?“There was a lot of buzz,
and the seniors were super excited. The son of Ida Mae Struve who’s 94, sent me an e-mail, and said all she’d been talking about was this hidden safe and suggesting various courses of action,” Lozier said.
Some of the speculation about the possible content: loot; gold bars; an old treasure map; maybe Jimmie Hoffa.
“Personally, I was hoping it was a time capsule with some sort of hidden treasures inside,” Lozier said.
Lozier called a locksmith from Auburn Safe and Lock to come out and have a look. The safe, he told her, vintage 1962, was so corroded that even if anybody knew the combination, he or she wouldn’t be able to open it. Somebody would have to jackhammer it out first.
With a thousand pins stick-ing her all over, Lozier started her research by looking into
the building’s history.As older Auburnites know,
the Senior Activity Center started out life in the mid 1960s as the Auburn Library and remained the library until the late 90s.
So Lozier shot an e-mail to former librarian Mary Stan-ton, now living in Canada.
Out came a truth much, much less exciting than even the tamest speculation.
“She said she used to keep petty cash in there, and the safe was under her desk. Can you imagine having to get on the floor to get to the safe,” Lozier said.
Lozier then had the depressing task of cooling everybody else’s overheated imaginations.
“I actually haven’t told many people ‘cause I don’t want them to be sad,” Lozier said. “Recently, a council member came and looked at it. Mayor Lewis says he wants to be here when it’s opened. A few people have come in because friends had told them about it. I haven’t shared with them what Mary Stanton told me because it’s so fun to watch them be excited! I was hoping she’d say it was a time capsule, ‘cause if it was, we could get it out of there and make it a time capsule and put something in it,” Lozier said.
“There could be something in there,” a still hopeful Lozier said, “because Mary Stanton was not the last librarian of the old library.”

The phone never stops ringing, the doors often swing open.
St. Vincent de Paul re-
mains a vital resource, a go-to place for needy individu-als and struggling families in the Auburn area.
Perhaps even more so today.
For many, the struggle to
pay the bills and put food on the table continues.
“We’ve seen people who have never had problems,” said Dave Patnode, of the South King County St. Vin-cent de Paul Stores. “Many people have lost their jobs, their homes. … There are a lot of people hurting out there.”
Patnode and his staff continue to meet the grow-ing need. He has been a part
of the challenge for 16 years at the Auburn stores, giving others hope in difficult and desperate times.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Holy Family Confer-ence – with support from the City of Auburn – con-tinues to extend a helping hand.
The Muckleshoot Tribe recently became a major member of the financial-support team.
Demand remains great. The nonprofit organization gave away approximately $50,000 in clothing alone last year.
As expected, available clothing and food are high on the inventory list, Pat-node said.
Last year the organiza-tion made more than 3,000 referrals to other social service agencies, coordinating help for those it could not help itself.
In addition to clothing, food, household items and other necessities, St. Vincent de Paul provides financial help on a limited, emergency basis.
Cash, food and cloth-ing donations are gladly accepted.
Money donations can be sent to: The Holy Family Conference of St. Vincent de Paul, P.O. Box 624, Auburn, WA 98071-0625

It didn’t take long for displeasure with the reelection of President Barack Obama to surface.
Considering the mudslinging and the generally negative nature of this year’s presidential contest between Republican candidate Mitt Romney and the incumbent, not surprising.
What has been surprising is the nature of the outcry against Obama’s legitimate elec-toral college victory – 332 votes to Romney’s 206 – and popular vote win – with Obama winning 51 percent with 62,615,406 votes to Romney’s 48 percent with 59,142,004. Given such a close race, you knew the acrimony wouldn’t be far behind.
Like a sore loser threatening to take his ball and go home, the discontent seeped to the surface the day after the election when
petitions for the seces-sion of several states found their way onto the Internet.
The movement started in Louisiana and other states quickly followed. Today, petitions from
disgruntled residents of all 50 states seeking to leave the Union are posted on the White-house’s We The People petition site at www.whitehouse.gov.
Among them is Texas, whose petition now has more than 100,000 signatures.
(An interesting side note is the petition asking that the City of Austin be allowed to secede from Texas but stay in the U.S.)
Meanwhile, about 2,000 miles south of our fair shores, the tiny U.S. territory of Puerto Rico voted this past week to become a state.
According to news reports, Puerto Ricans voted in a two-part referendum, which first asked whether they supported the current territorial relationship, then whether they supported full statehood, a Sovereign Free Associated State and outright independence. The vote was 54 percent against the current status with 61 percent following up the first question with a vote for becoming the 51st state.
So how do these two issues relate?

Thanksgiving Traditions
In America, Thanksgiv-ing traditionally has been a time for families to get together, eat way too much homemade food and watch some serious football.
Wedged somewhere between the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, copious college and
professional football games and the tons of turkey, cranberries and yams piled high atop the dining room table, a prayer of thanks is supposed to be offered for the bounty of the season.
After all, isn’t that the whole reason for the celebration in the first place?
Family traditions often are the glue that binds many families together. Some only get together at Christmas or Thanksgiving because of the long distances between family members and logistical or financial considerations.
I grew up in southern California, where long-standing family tradi-tions have an odd way of changing every year. Our typical tradi-tions revolved around how much
money was available to be spent on Thanksgiving dinner – after all the bills had been paid, of course.
My father preferred ham, so our “meat of choice” for Thanksgiving dinner was not the succulent roast turkey with cornbread stuffing I had hungered after all year.
Sometimes the meat of the day wasn’t even ham.
My sister, Marilyn, remembers a Thanksgiving dinner consisting of greasy meat loaf, lumpy mashed potatoes and canned green beans.

Recall efforts for Cy Sun continue
A little more than a year ago, the people of Pacific elected Cy Sun as their mayor. He ran a negative campaign that accused the previous administration of corruption — corruption that a Washington State Patrol investi-gation, a Washington State Audi-tors report and an investigation by the City’s insurance company have disproven — and won a three-way race with 39 percent of the vote. Since that time, five city department heads have been either fired or quit, the City is facing $11.2 million in lawsuits and its insurance is canceling our policy on Dec. 31.
A Pierce County Superior Court Judge has ordered the mayor to hire new depart-ment heads or face charges. The insurance company has said without new department heads and steps in a positive direction that it will not renew the policy,
even for a temporary amount of time. Despite the City Council approving all but one of his hires, the mayor has not met his obligations.
The Committee to Recall Cy Sun was formed after it was obvious that this mayor was not working in the best interests of The City of Pacific. The mayor
has been arrested, investigated for destroying public docu-ments, and a King County Supe-rior Court Judge has stated there is sufficient evidence that the mayor tried to use the Pacific Police Department for his own political retaliatory investigation.
All in his first year in office.It has become obvious to me
and the other members of The Committee to Recall Cy Sun that the recall of the mayor is the only chance we have to survive as a City. While the mayor pub-licly said he welcomes a recall as a chance for the voters to have their say, he has used every legal maneuver to delay the possible vote. We are currently asking the State Supreme Court to put a stop to all of this legal maneu-vering and give the people a chance to save this City.
The City Council has realized that this City will not be able to function without insurance and has taken steps to disincorporate

... SENIOR LIFESTYLESDisaster prep for senior citizens
The likelihood that you and your family will recover from an emergency tomor-row often depends on the planning and preparation done today. While each person’s abilities and needs are unique, every individual can take steps to prepare for all kinds of emergencies. By evaluating your own personal needs and making an emergency plan that fits those needs, you and your loved ones can be better prepared.
There are commonsense measures older Americans can take to start preparing for emergencies before they happen.
Create a network of neighbors, relatives, friends
and co-workers to aid you in an emergency. Discuss your needs and make sure every-one knows how to operate necessary equipment. If ap-propriate, discuss your needs with your employer.
Seniors should keep specialized items ready, including extra wheelchair batteries, oxygen, catheters, medication, food for service animals and any other items you might need. Keep a list of the type and model num-bers of the medical devices you require. Be sure to make provisions for medications that require refrigeration. Make arrangements for any assistance to get to a shelter.
For more information, read Ready.gov’s Prepar-ing Makes Sense For Older Americans or visit the Red Cross website.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is available free
to taxpayers with low and moderate income, with special attention to those 60 and older. Through a cadre of trained volun-teers, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide has helped low- to moderate-income indi-viduals for more than 40 years in every state and

LAUGHTER, JOY, AND HAPPINESS
You know that you certainly feel better when you are happy, laughing, and full of joy. So, it only makes sense that happiness should exert a positive effect on health and longevity. And science has confirmed what we intuitively know to be true. Older individuals who report that they are happy are one-third more likely to live out the next five years than their less-happy coun-terparts. This so-called “happiness effect” was even found to be true among older people suffering from chronic diseases. Moreover, research involving centenarians shows that one of the quali-ties they most had in common was that they laughed easily. A happy disposition seems to be one of the cornerstones upon which a long life is built.
At PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COM-MUNITY, our caring staff encourages an upbeat attitude among our senior residents. We provide a variety of enjoyable activities and events planned to keep our seniors busy and happy. To learn more about us, reach us today at (253) 939-1332. We will arrange a meeting and tour of our conveniently located, unique senior community at 2902 I Street, N.E. We have been serving seniors since 1972. We look forward to meeting you!
P.S. Strong social relationships can boost longevity by as much as 50 percent.

Bear with me here.When I first heard about
the secession petitions, I thought, no problem: let’s take anyone who wants to secede, ship them off to the Lonestar State and let Texas become the Republic of Texas again.
Then, after realizing that Texas actually contributed to the national economy (unlike deadbeat states such as Louisiana – which takes $1.45 of federal mon-ey for every $1 it ponies up – and Alabama – $1.71 of fed cash for every $1), I re-alized my initial plan was a poor idea. Plus, I saw what a map of the U.S. actually looked like without Texas (check it out, it’s not very appealing) I realized there might be an alternative.
As of a much-too-late-to-be-up Sunday night, the signature count on the
Whitehouse.gov for those in favor of secession was more than 829,000 Ameri-cans who want to leave the Union, rather than compromise and work toward the betterment of the country.
Meanwhile, more than 3.7 million Puerto Ricans appear to be eager to join the Union.
So, here’s my idea.Let’s gather up any-
one not willing to work together as Americans and give them Puerto Rico as a new nation. That way they can form their own gov-ernment, free of the con-straints of actually having to concede to the wishes of the majority of Americans. And honestly, who’d be unhappy with the prospect of more than 3,500 square miles of Caribbean island real estate?
In exchange we allow any Puerto Ricans who
want to become Americans to come to our shores and settle in the great state of Texas, which with a min-iscule population density of 96.3 people per square mile, spread out over 268,581 square miles, has more than enough space for a few more people.
It’s a win-win situation for all.
The Puerto Ricans be-come full-fledged Ameri-cans, the disgruntled seces-sionists inherit a Caribbean island, and the rest of the country gets back to work compromising and getting the United States back on track, minus a few hundred thousand malcontents.
Let’s just hope Donald Trump and his hair are among the secessionists.
should the mayor not meet his obligations. Obviously, this is not what I would like to see. Our committee is made up of residents, business owners, people who work in the City, but we all have one thing in common: we love the City of Pacific. If you too, would like to see the City return to the great community it once was, I ask you to get involved. Get informed by going to a coun-
cil meeting, reading our blog (recallcy.blogspot.com) or like us on Facebook (committee-torecallcysun). Call the mayor and tell him your thoughts on saving the City, donate to the recall (we still have $15,000 in legal bills to fight the mayor’s legal maneuvering) or just talk with your neighbors about the situation. Every little bit helps.

must have been some great holiday dinner. Fortunately, I have managed to block that one completely out of my memory bank, so I can’t speak from personal experi-ence.
Another family tradition that died a very slow and painful (for us) death was my mother’s notion that cooked celery could be considered a real vegetable. Thankfully, she served it only on holidays. And there were enough other heaping plates of food on the table that we could say, “Sorry, Mom, there’s no room on my plate. I’ll get it in the next round.”
Years later, my sister and I finally worked up the nerve to ask our mother what in the
world inspired her to think that boiled celery was a viable alternative to your standard, everyday, leafy green veg-gies. She didn’t know, Mom replied in a slightly testy tone, but nobody had ever com-plained about it before.
Of course, we watched the Macy’s parade in the morn-ing and all the football games, including several reruns, that we could stomach in one day. For those who are too young to remember the “dark ages” of television, we only had a few channels to choose from and many games were blacked out for later viewing. Dad didn’t care if he already knew the final score – it was the Rams game, for goodness sakes!
After dinner, Dad would always end the day snoring
loudly on the couch (watch-ing the above mentioned Rams game) while my sister and I attempted to clean up the disaster area that previ-ously had been our kitchen. We’d slide the pocket door closed between the kitchen and dining room and harmo-nize at the top of our lungs to old songs from the 1930s and 40s. (Don’t even ask . . . they were old back then, too.)
I never even held it against Marilyn when she tried to electrocute me by dunk-ing my left hand in soapy dishwater while wrapping my wet right hand around the handle of a deep-fryer basket. And yes, it was plugged in at the time.
I guess I’m just lucky that one never developed into a family tradition.

auburn Sculpture Gallery features seven outdoor art piecesreporter Staff
Something’s happening on and around Main Street, a little urban chic, some artistic pizazz.
Seven loaned outdoor sculptures have been installed on and around Main Street as part of the City’s Downtown Sculpture Gallery.
“Roadrunner” is the cur-rent frontrunner in Auburn’s
Downtown Sculpture Gallery People’s Choice vote. The sculpture, by artist Dan Klennert, stands in front of Harold’s Plumbing on the corner of Main Street & B Street SW.
Other pieces are Tree of Life by Kris Vermeer (1st St. NE & N. Division), Eagle Song by Leo Osborne (A St. SW & Main St.--To be installed on November 21.),
Turtle Island Puget Sound (B St. NE & Main St.), Ripar-ian Totem by Lin Rebolini McJunkin (B St. NE & Main St.), Chakra by Kenneth Hall (Auburn Way South and Main Street), and House with Round Windows by Nicky Falkenhayn (A Street SE & Main Street).
“Ask any of the artists,” said Klennert, “we’re thrilled to be able to show our sculptures
in Auburn and I’m particu-larly happy to share Road-runner with the community.” Klennert breathed life into the iconic bird using found objects like old tractor seats, chainsaw bars, blades for old wood planers and an old pick for the bird’s beak.
“It’s a wonderful program that showcases incredible talent and helps to bring atten-tion not only to the art but also to Auburn’s historic down-town,” said Maija McKnight, the City’s Arts Coordinator. “All of the pieces are loaned to the Gallery and the pedestals were funded through a state revitalization program.”
The Auburn Sculpture Gallery’s opening dedication and reception is at 7 p.m., Monday, Nov. 26, 2012 at the Auburn Avenue Theatre. The free event is open to the public and will include remarks by Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis, a short film that will showcase the artists, and a sculpture walk with five of the seven featured artists — Lin Rebolini McJunkin, Kris Vermeer, Kenneth Hall,
Dan Klennert, and Leo E. Osborne.
Ballots for the People’s Choice and additional information and photos of each of the sculptures can be found in the lobby of Auburn City Hall or online at www.

Auburn earns trip to dome with 21-7 win
By SHAWN SKAGER
The Auburn Trojans punched their ticket to the Tacoma Dome this past Saturday with a 21-7 win over Mead in the Washing-ton State 4A quarterfinals at Auburn Memorial Stadium.
The win earns Auburn a spot in the 4A semifinals and a game against No.4 Bellarmine Prep (11-1) 7:30 p.m. this Saturday at the Tacoma Dome.
The unranked Trojans (10-2) came into the contest against the No. 5 ranked Panthers (10-2), hot on the heels of 20-7 road win against Eastmont. Against Mead, Auburn again relied on the tried and true for-mula of stifling defense and a punishing ground game to earn the victory.
“We played really good defense and ran the ball well,” Gordon Elliott said. “It’s our style and the way we have to play to win. (Mead) played physical, and we were able to play physical also and finish. It was a good win.”
The Trojans kicked off scoring in the first quarter
with junior running back Keio Buchanan running one in from the 4-yard line. Buchanan finished the game with 72 yards rushing on nine carries.
Auburn ran the score up to 14-0 in the second quarter with senior Harold Lee finding the end zone on a 27-yard touchdown run.
In the second half Mead scored their only points of the game with Davian Barlow scoring on a 6-yard TD.
The Trojans closed out scoring with a 12-yard touchdown run by senior
Demontra McNealy.Senior Darnell Hagans
led Auburn with 81-yards on seven carries.
Now the Trojans prepare for a return to the Tacoma Dome, the first time the team has played under the wooden roof since 2006.
“It’s always special (to make the semifinals), but you just have to keep going a game at a time,” Elliott said.
Even more so when you finished a paltry 4-6 and missed the postseason the year before.
“Nobody would have
thought we’d be where we’re at, judging from last year or losing our first game (to Kentwood 31-7) this sea-son. The key is once you get into the top eight or sixteen, you face better teams but you become a better team for having won against them. The rankings don’t matter once you get here. If you don’t play well on game night, you go home.”
The winner will play ei-ther No. 1 Skyline (12-0) or No. 3 Camas (12-0) in the state 4A title game at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Tacoma Dome.

Pink-Tastic Event Raises Funds to Provide Mammograms for 100At-Risk Women in Need
One hundred high-risk women in need will receive mammograms thanks to a partnership between Valley Medical Center’s GLOW program and The Seattle Thunderbirds hockey team. Now in its second year, “Pink the Rink” raised $15,000 for Valley’s Breast Center to provide life saving mammograms and breast education for disadvantaged women.
“One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Until that number is zero, we will continue the fi ght to eradicate this terrible disease,” says Sherry Kuzan, RN, Manager, The Breast Center at Valley Medical Center. “Mammograms are key to early detection, and for women who are high-risk it’s critical. The money raised at Pink the Rink will ensure that 100 women will not have to wonder and worry about their breast health. We can’t thank the community enough for coming out and showing their support.”
1 in 8 Women will be Diagnosed with Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is easiest to cure when it’s detected early. Have you had your annual mammogram?
If not, don’t delay! Call The Breast Center at Valley Medical Center today!
