| Pictures of our table at the 2nd Annual Health Fair at Shanty Creek Resorts on May 19, 2010 from 2 - 7 pm in the Summit's Lakeview Conference room.
On May 19th ACHT participated in the 2nd Annual Northwest MI Health Fair held at Shanty Creek Resorts. One of over 60 organizations, health practices, or businesses, we handed out brochures on our organization, how to do breast exams and (as pictured) our latest handout: a pink recyclable grocery bag, which is imprinted with our name, website and 1-800 number to call to receive free mammograms. Also available were educational silicone breast models in which lumps are hidden, which are helpful for women to use to give them an idea what breast lumps feel like. Pictured at our table are Diane Huller of the Education Committee and Linda Martin, a breast cancer patient for the past 6 years, who has helped on fundraising for several years and education as well. They are giving one of our bags to an attendee of the health fair. Many attendees were employees of Shanty Creek and golfers who had played in leagues that day as well as other local residents. |

The ACHT board of directors wishes to express their appreciation to all of the Antrim County communities who offered their support through donations of time, money and merchandise for this important program for our residents. The number of women, from Antrim County, being tested through the Health Department has grown from 22 in 2004 (ACHT’s first year) to 110 in 2008. Our goal for 2009 is 150 growing to 250 by 2011. As this is a totally volunteer organization, contact the Health Department or ACHT if you are interested in getting involved or wish to make a donation to help us to prevent breast cancer deaths in Antrim County.
