The Turlock City Arts Commission announces a new exhibition featuring works created by participants in the Images and Cancer Art Group, a component of Memorial Medical Center’s Complementary Therapy Program for cancer survivors and their family members.  “This is an opportunity to share the experiences and feelings of those whose lives have been affected by cancer,” says Lisa McDermott, Turlock’s Arts Facilitator, about why the TCAC Gallery Committee wanted to hold this exhibition. “Opening the door to creative expression can help individuals cope with this difficult journey, and the artwork that results is often beautiful and meaningful to an audience far beyond the immediate circle of the artist.”

A free public reception will be held on Tuesday, May 12 from 5-7 p.m. The reception will include a short presentation of poetry by Writing Through Cancer participants Nancy Fontana, Dan Murray, Roberta Bearden and Ed Bearden, Modesto’s current Poet Laureate, and music performed by Dan Murray, also a participant in the program’s Sounds of the Heart Musical Ensemble. The exhibition will run from May 6 – June 24, 2009.

The Complementary Therapy Program is part of the Memorial Medical Center’s Cancer Services, a program accredited by the American College of Surgeons as a comprehensive cancer center for diagnosis and treatment.. Complementary therapies are those that can be used along with conventional medicine therapies that have been proven to be safe and effective. When a person is dealing with a diagnosis of cancer, complementary therapies can be miracles of comfort during the journey of recovery, healing or coping. Complementary therapies that Memorial Medical Center includes in its program are art, photography, movement, writing, music and gardening.

  • paul on In what different materials do women’s activewear comes? "You may get a variety of fabrics for the best activewear for women online, including cotton, spandex, synthetic, bamboo fiber, and Gore-Tex. Each of these materials has distinctive properties that set them apart. Since polyester is incredibly light and comfortable to wear, we advise you to utilize it. Athletic clothing frequently uses polyester as a fabric. Shirts for activewear, sweatpants and jogging jackets usually contain polyester blends. Polyester often dries quickly, making it the perfect fabric for intense workouts."
  • PaulWatkins on How does a real estate agency work? "Hi Dans Andrew, I'm glad you have made the right decision because a real estate agency is a promising career. Real estate agency involves dealing with properties either for selling or purchasing. When a client comes to a real estate agency to sell a property, it is the estate agent's job to find a buyer. If the agent finds a buyer and closes the deal at a good price for both parties, the estate agent gets a 1% commission from both buyer and seller. This is how real estate agencies work, and estate agents earn."
  • dans on Where can we find the best kratom capsules?

Many online pharmaceutical stores provide the best kratom capsules at affordable prices. You can look for such online stores on Google or even social media. The store will deliver the best kratom capsule to your home without charging the delivery charges."
  • dans on How to choose the right weight loss clinic? "A reputable weight loss clinic should preferably include counseling while being overseen by a doctor or other qualified medical expert. However, some weight-loss facilities allow clients to quickly obtain weight-loss medications and leave without providing a thorough medical history or seeking a physician's opinion. You should stay away from these types of locations because they're dangerous and probably won't result in long-term weight loss. Find a facility that focuses on the behavioral treatment or lifestyle counseling instead. They can provide you with the tools you need to make healthy decisions and advice on how to fit exercise into your daily schedule. Some of these tactics include keeping track of your meals and keeping a weekly workout log."
  • paul on Why are customer reviews important during online shopping? "The most crucial component of every online store is its customer reviews. Reviews can assist other customers in determining whether or not the business and its items are worthwhile purchases. If you earn positive evaluations, your brand will gain an enormous reputation and rank better on Google. According to Google's recently modified algorithm, a business can increase its performance by obtaining reviews. This is the rationale behind inquiries about reviews on Google, Facebook, and other online clothing stores for women."
