Hello Conquerors!
Happy New Year Everyone!
The Conquerors started off 2019 with food and festivities at our annual Bowling Birthday Bash! This is such a great family event and a fun way to be thoroughly entertained by a display of rather unique bowling styles. Thanks to all who participated in getting some exercise and helping us to celebrate our January birthdays!

There are lots of ways to Get Active with TCC. Join us in the sunshine to help out in our organic garden, explore on a Second Sunday Hike, walk the River Park Loop, or participate in our Get Fit classes! If you’ve been wanting to add exercise to your New Year’s resolutions, but don’t know where to start or have some concerns about exercise limitations, come and check out our new Get Started class! Classes will initially be the 1st Saturday of the month, starting February 2nd at 8:00 AM. While the Get Fit class is more geared towards cardio, core and weight training, our Get Started class will focus on low impact toning, flexibility, and balance. You can do this!

It’s time for a TCC Social Hour! We have reserved tables outside at North Italia in the La Encantada shopping center on Monday, February 11th from 5:00 to 7:30 PM. We’ll provide the snacks, but first…please wander over to Kendra Scott where TCC is having our Kendra Gives Back night. Why? TCC gets 20% of all jewelry sales from 4:00 to 7:00 PM that night! If you joined us for our December High Tea event, you saw Kendra Scott bling everywhere! Not only did they donate jewelry to our raffle and auction, they also presented each survivor in attendance with a beautiful piece of jewelry. This is a great opportunity to pick up gifts for Valentine’s day or to add the matching pieces you’ve always wanted. Don’t need an amazing piece of jewelry? Just stop by for some champagne and say hello! And please click here to share our TCC Facebook Event on your Facebook page so we can get the word out to as many people as possible!

Save the date! TCC is planning our very first Community Open House Saturday, March 16th at the Park from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Music, food, park tours, fitness fun, prizes, and a TCC garden cooking demo by our very own Advisory Board member, Executive Chef Ken Harvey. Our many programs would not be possible without the amazing support of our community partners. Loews has been an active TCC supporter, hosting TCC retreat events, providing a beautiful venue for our annual High Tea, and for letting us borrow their Executive Chef!

A big thank you to Chef Ken and to General Manager Tony Phillips of Loews Ventana Canyon Resort for the generous gift of their resources, time, and talents. You make a difference in the lives of cancer survivors and their families in our community!

The literature is loaded with the beneficial effects of exercise on cancer recovery and long-term survival. These are good things, but at TCC our workouts are about so much more.
|
|
|
|
They are about comradery and laughs. They are about noticing when someone isn’t feeling well or calling them just to check in if we haven’t seen them in a while. They are about showing up, not just to exercise, but to catch up with friends and support one another.
|
|
|
The research is clear - women who have a strong social network of support have lower recurrence rates and a longer overall survival. Social well-being is correlated with physical well-being, reducing depression and stress and leading to better health outcomes. NOW will you join us?

Garden Update
|
|
The days are warming up and our garden looks great! Thanks to all of our TCC gardeners, we have lots of healthy broccoli and greens that will no doubt show up as something delicious at our upcoming February birthday potluck.
|
|
|
|
As a special garden treat, master gardener Dawn Messer shared a breakfast demo at Coffee Café using fresh-from-the-garden collard greens as delicious veggie wraps.
