SACHSE SENIORS DONATE GIFTS FOR CANCER
PATIENTS

Janet Hurley attended the City Council meeting October 1, 2007,
promoting the wonderful work the Sachse seniors do for the Cancer
patients. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Mayor Pro
Tem Pat McMillan presented a Proclamation during the meeting.

Sachse's seniors worked long hours creating caps, pillows and tote
bags for the Cancer Closet at Richardson Regional Cancer Center.
They donated 100 pillows, used by breast cancer patients following
surgery, 100 chemo-caps for cancer patients who have lost their hair due to
chemotherapy, and 50 tote bags. Shown in the photo above, (left to
right) Janet Hurley, Chairman of the Senior Center Committee and cancer
patient Frances Bivona were pleased to present Christie Willis with
Richardson Regional Cancer Center the hand-made items. Ms. Hurley,
along with Program Director Dixie Dickson, were instrumental in
obtaining the donated materials for the project. The seniors will
continue to create the items for the cancer closet. Anyone
interested in donating soft knits for chemo-caps, bright woven fabrics
for pillows, heavier fabrics for totes (denim, corduroy, and upholstery material), stuffing or
sewing items may contact the Center at 972-495-6282.
