Dear
Friends,
We
hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are looking forward
to 2008!
With
the New Year underway we would like to remind you of the importance
of healthy eating and exercise. Research continues to acknowledge
the elevated risk of cancer within the overweight population.
With that said, The Cancer Survivor Center invites all cancer
survivors to take a step toward a healthy 2008 by taking part
in our services. Here at CSC, it is our mission to optimize
the quality of life of cancer survivors by providing them
with scientifically based exercise programming, nutritional
guidance, mental health services, and one-on-one coaching.
For more information, please contact us at 970-920-5836 or
visit our website at aspencancer.org.
Secondly,
with nearly three feet of new snow on the ground, many of
you will be out enjoying the fresh powder, mountain air, and
clear blue skies in the coming weeks. Although the temperatures
may not feel like summer, please remember that you are living
at altitude and sunscreen is a necessity
Finally,
have you set your search engine homepage to GoodSearch.com
yet? Goodsearch.com is a new way that you can help The Cancer
Survivor Center raise funds this year! The site is a new Yahoo-powered

purchase to your “choice charity.” GoodShop.com
has hundreds of stores to chose from, including, Target, Gap,
Best Buy, ebay.com, Barnes and Noble, etc. All you need to
do is go to Goodsearch.com
