Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. We will be helping with registration. Time: TBA. Meet at the Ewing Library on Scotch Road to carpool Location: Six Flags Great Adventure Leader: Elena Strout |

| Saturday, October 25 | Volunteer - Lions' Eye |
![]() |
The World Health Organization estimates that the
eyesight of one-fourth of the world's population can be improved through the
use of corrective lenses.
Unfortunately for many, a pair of glasses is both unaffordable and inaccessible. In developing countries, an eye exam costs as much as one month's wages, and a single doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people. For nearly 70 years, individual Lions Clubs have collected used eyeglasses for distribution to the needy in developing nations. Volunteers are needed to help sort glasses for distribution to other countries at the Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf. Time: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Location: Katzenbach School for the Deaf, 320 Sullivan Way, West Trenton (drive in until you have to turn right; then, fourth, & final, left at the stop sign) Project Leader: Carol Stoka |
