T
housands of Jewish women in
the Detroit area are survivors
of cancer. Some have been
survivors for decades, others just days.
But how many feel like they are thriv-
ing?
A new group of these women want
to help other women feel like thriv-
ers. The Cancer Thrivers Network for
Jewish Women will host cocktails and
conversation on Thursday, Oct. 23, at
the Jewish Community Center in West
Bloomfield.
The 7 p.m. event will feature State
Sen. Gilda Jacobs, D-Huntington Woods,
who will speak and answer questions
about cancer legislation concerning
women and cancer. The charge is $10.
Reservations are requested.
The Cancer Thrivers Network for
Jewish Women's mission is to enrich
and empower Jewish women through
activities, friendship, resources, educa-
tion and humor. The network women
possess the attitude that good health
is significantly determined by positive
thought and action.
The network welcomes women who
have been diagnosed with any kind of
cancer at any time in their lives. Young
or old, each woman has the opportunity
to offer support and hope to each other.
The network receives support from
the Jewish Community Center of
Metropolitan Detroit, Jewish Family
Service of Metropolitan Detroit and the
Greater Detroit Chapter of Hadassah. It
welcomes support from other commu-
nity organizations and individuals.
Network co-chairs are Patti Nemer
of West Bloomfield, Michelle Passon
of Commerce and Sandy Schwartz of
Franklin.
To make a reservation, contact Patti
Nemer, (248) 790-5854, or Michelle
Passon, smp1543@comcast.net . 111
Photographer Aids Gilda's
When a childhood friend was diag-
nosed with breast cancer at 34, Ally
Cohen was floored. The friend had no
family history, was in good health and
had no apparent reason or cause for
such a devastating diagnosis.
"I felt so helpless:' said Cohen,
whose West Bloomfield company,
Frameable Faces, specializes in pho-
tography at competitive prices.
"I can't cure her, but I also couldn't
stand by and do nothing. So I decided
to run a promotion. I'll donate 15 per-
cent of my gross sales in November,
my friend's birthday month, to Gilda's
Club Worldwide, in an effort to stimu-
late research and treatment efforts
toward an eventual cure."
Free of charge, Gilda's Clubs offer
support and networking groups, lec-
tures, workshops and social events for
men, women and children, their fami-
lies and friends in a nonresidential,
homelike setting.
Created in 2004, Frameable Faces
provides photography for all ages and
occasions, from family photos to cor-
porate events to weddings. Cohen does
not charge a session fee.
