Announcements / Happy and Crappy News
Charise announced she just celebrated her birthday and made a contribution to the foundation.

Dianne Bobko's crappy news was that after all the years that her sister has dedicated to cancer patient advocacy, she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. 
 
Mary Corcoran recently returned from a big trip. She visited her 50th state - Alaska on an Alaskan cruise with family. her husband Bill got to stay home and work. Her crappy news was that her aunt passed away. She's had to take another trip, this time, not so happy. The upside was she got to spend time with family.
