Hello Conquerors!It is beautiful outdoors and a great time to join the GetFit team for a workout, Meander Mindfully with Dawn, or participate in a Second Sunday Hike with Deb. Our Get Active leaders are constantly thinking of new ways to get us moving and keep things fresh. We are lucky to have them! It’s also a wonderful time to visit the TCC garden where things are flourishing with our warmer weather. February brought us an exciting social event with family and friends at Barrio Bar and Grill . The owners, Tauna and Dennis Arnold, and their staff generously provided a beautiful private venue with brewery tours and samplings of their famous brews. It was wonderful to meet so many family and friends who support our members and the TCC mission. It is all about creating community! Congratulations to Carole Wymer for winning the Cats basketball ticket raffle, and thank you to Arlene for serving as organizer and bouncer for our event! |
With the exception of a few final photos, our new pamphlet is just about ready to print. Marlyne and Ginny have graciously agreed to spearhead pamphlet distribution and will be looking for volunteers. This informational brochure is a wonderful way for us to reach out to those who may need our help. We are very excited to get it off the press. We have decided it would be good to add a little tidbit about the Board in each newsletter, so here is this month's item: TCC has a “working board” that puts careful consideration and many hours into assuring that our activities reflect the needs and suggestions of our membership. The board is responsible for the fiscal health of our organization which is a legal duty that we take very seriously. We have systems in place to assure that we are good stewards of donor money and that our funding is wholly reinvested into programming that directly benefits our members. To wrap up our Fiscal year, in June we will once again host our Cancer Conqueror Annual Report Event, highlighting the years activities, reviewing financials, and acknowledging our donors. Be sure to check the TCC Calendar on our website for details about the many fun activities we have planned. Hope to see you all soon, The Tucson Cancer Conquerors BoardP.S. - Remember to invite your friends and family to Like the Tucson Cancer Conquerors Facebook page – our goal is to reach 500 followers this year! |

Next Month and Beyond...Save the dates!

TCC GetFit Class NewsGetFit class is the TCC exercise program focused on functional fitness - strength, flexibility, balance and endurance. Anyone at any fitness level can do this! GetFit classes are held at Brandi Fenton Park Tuesday evenings at 5:30 PM and Saturday mornings at 8:00 AM. For those looking for a little less strenuous activity, we also have an informal group of members who stretch and warm-up with the exercise class, then take a walk around Brandi Fenton Park. Your fitness team has fun activities headed your way to keep those muscles guessing what’s next. The weather is beautiful now so join us! As we approach summer, watch for our upcoming field trips as we look for creative ways to beat the heat. |
TCC Garden NewsWe have bountiful, beautiful winter greens just waiting to be picked. Join us for "U-Picks" on Saturday mornings after the TCC Coffee Café from 9:30 AM to 10:00AM! This month, while we are still harvesting winter vegetables, we will begin to clear out some of the winter garden to make room for summer veggies and we will begin planting our tomatoes and peppers by mid-March. If you're interested in helping out more with the garden, please email Master Gardener Dawn. |
TCC Coffee CaféEven if you don't come for exercise class, please join us at the TCC Coffee Café to share a snack, socialize and hear about all our upcoming activities! The Coffee Café happens after every Saturday morning right after exercise class at the Brandi Fenton Park Visitor's Center. Please consider signing up to bring Coffee Café snacks one Saturday this year. You can always partner with another member to make it easier, and you can be sure we will appreciate whatever snacks you bring! Speak to Jenny Waters for more information. |
