The walks will have speakers, food and entertainment! They also offer free oral cancer screenings, so invite your friends and family to attend also.

I've been to several meetings, but the support I get here on OCF is way better. Tony [/quote] I attached the SPOHNC local chapter link in my first post. http://www.spohnc.org/local_chapters.php
