Healthy
Cooking: Caring for Cancer in the Kitchen
Aug. 20, 10-11:30 a.m. at The Oasis senior center
|
|
Most of us know a friend or family
member who has battled cancer. For cancer patients and their
caregivers, both cooking and eating are a challenge, especially with
side effects from cancer treatments and the symptoms of various
types of cancer. Come learn about ways to help a friend or loved one
with cancer to ease discomfort, to cope with digestive side effects
of radiation and chemotherapy, and to boost nutrition and well-being
during recovery periods from surgery and cancer treatments.
Aug. 22-23 there will be a quarter midget regional race event.
Everyone is invited to come and watch an exciting day full of
quarter midget racing. QMA members ages 5-16 will compete in the
annual regional event. Qualifying and lower mains will be on
Saturday and A mains on Sunday. Free admission. Concessions
available. For additional information and directions, see
www.alqma.com.
The ALQMA racetrack is in Broadwell (former Rocking Horse
Campground). The event will start at 9 a.m.
Bring your dirty canine to the Humane Society of Logan County
dog wash on Saturday, Aug. 22, at Graue Inc. You will have the
cleanest, fresh-smelling dog possible.
The Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival is fast approaching. HSLC will
have the "Hounds & Handbags" sale across from Latham Park and a
space in Scully Park. If you are interested in volunteering at one
of these venues, please call Lynn White at 217-732-4540. We are very
fortunate this year to be able to have a presence in two separate
areas of the balloon fest.

you are wondering what is going on, when or where, just check out
the page and find everything you need to know. This complete
coverage is brought to you thanks to the great sponsors whose names

Got a good piece of news, information or something that we
can all brag about? If you do, e-mail Mike and let us tell everyone
about it. Plus you can win cash. Every submission, whether we use it
or not, will get your name in the "Close Up" grab bag. At the end of
the month we will draw a name and someone will get $25 just for
dropping us an e-mail. If you wish, we will be happy to donate your
winnings to the organization of your choice.
