Networking Groups

 Networking groups are bi-weekly or monthly groups that bring together members that share a common bond related to cancer…whether it be their age or type of cancer or interests. Groups are formed based on input from our members. A regular commitment is asked and members must first meet with a member of the program staff to determine group placement. Child care is available with prior notice to clubhouse.

 

Current groups available:

Group Time/Day Group Description
Breast Cancer First Monday in p.m. For members touched by breast cancer who wish to share their stories, challenges, resources, with others. Both women & men welcome.
Young Survivors Second Thursday in p.m. For those in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s who have a cancer connection.
