Mayor joins fight against Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer among women and affects the lives of all women regardless of age, race, or nationality. The risk of developing Breast Cancer increases with age, with three-quarters of all Breast Cancer cases occurring in women over the age of 50.

This is why Gail and I have joined with Franklin Needs, Inc., to help raise needed funds for use in Franklin County, by Franklin County women in their fight against this dreaded disease.

Please join Franklin Needs, Inc., and Gail and I, on October 25 from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM at the Fort Coombs Armory in Apalachicola, for the Calendar Girls Cabaret fundraiser.

The show will begin at 9:00 PM with great local talent (singers, dancers, and actors), there will be a raffle, and snacks and beverages will be available for a donation. A $10 admission charge will apply and you can turn in your ticket stub for your first drink.

Prior to the event, you can purchase luminaries in honor of a friend or loved one to line the sidewalk around the Armory. You can pick them up at any local branch of Gulf State Community Bank or purchase them the night of the event at the door.
