'The Myths or Facts of Breast Cancer': Learn the Truth at WPB Seminar on Oct 19

On behalf of the U.S. Postal Service, West Palm Beach City Postmaster Maribeth A. Norman invites the community to help "stamp out" breast cancer on Monday, October 19.

"Bring Your Lunch and Learn the Myths or Facts of Breast Cancer" is a FREE seminar planned on the third floor of the Place West Palm Beach Public Library at 411 Clematis Street in West Palm Beach.

The opening session is at 11:00 am. Listen to testimonials from breast cancer survivors from 11:30 am to 12:00 pm. Sandy Blank, Executive Director of the Florida Breast Cancer Resource Network for Breast Cancer, will present "The Myths or Facts of Breast Cancer" and field questions from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm.

The Breast Cancer Research semi-postal stamp will be available at the event. The 55-cent cost covers the one-ounce First-Class postage rate of 44 cents. The additional 11 cents goes to breast cancer research.

So pack your brown bag lunch, learn the key to early detection, and purchase your Breast Cancer Research semi-postal stamps on Monday, October 19.

Please note that this is an off-the-clock activity for postal employees.
