Been out of town...still felt I was in White Plains, reading what is new in CitizeNetReporter. Election Results, daily news, and especially with your detailed reporting of the new Cappelli design. Site is indeed timely, newsworthy and great. Thanks for keeping me informed. Fantastic job.

WPCNR STAT. From American Cancer Society. October 8, 2006: Hope starts here on Sunday, October 15th as thousands of Westchester residents – moms, dads, children, grandparents, co-workers, breast cancer survivors and their loved ones - will join the fight against breast cancer by walking in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event at Manhattanville College.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a fun, memorable experience and a great way to get actively involved in the fight. Since 1993, Making Strides has been the American Cancer Society’s premier event dedicated to raising awareness and dollars in support of breast cancer research, education, advocacy and patient services. The success of the event has enabled the American Cancer Society to fund more than $295 million for breast cancer research projects since 1972. Dollars raised at Making Strides also help spread lifesaving breast cancer awareness messages; fund advocacy efforts for screening opportunities for all people; and help to ease the cancer burden for people facing the disease.
The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a rallying cry for awareness, the venue to remember those who fought and continue to fight breast cancer, and an opportunity for us all to make a difference in the lives of people with breast cancer. It is also a chance to educate women about the importance of early detection and help change the alarming decline in the number of women going for their potentially lifesaving annual mammogram.
This year, there will be more than 110 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks taking place throughout the country in October. An estimated 400,000 walkers are expected to participate. Last year, 400,000 participants nationwide helped to raise more than $34 million for breast cancer research, education, advocacy, and services.
