NORWAY — The Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine, located in the Stephens Memorial Hospital Specialty Clinic building, 199 Main St., has several events planned for July. The Oxford Hannaford grocery store has chosen CRCWM for its “Hannaford Helps” reusable bag program. The center will receive $1 for each “Good Karma” bag purchase at that location in July.
The center has scheduled two special events as well. A group of musicians from the Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival will perform a 45-minute, free, chamber music concert — “Healing through Music” — Thursday, July 20, at 3:30 p.m. in the historic barn at the McLaughlin Garden and Homestead, 97 Main St., South Paris. The center will hold its “Mid-Summer Wednesday Wellness” at Posabilities, 15 Tannery St., Wednesday, July 26, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Participants may arrive at 1:45 to check in and sign up for an individual sampler session of chair Reiki, Thai yoga and hand reflexology. Beginning at 2:30 p.m., there will be a guided meditation session followed by a “Yoga Warrior” class from 3 to 4 p.m.; refreshments will be available.
More information may be found on the calendar at CRCWM’s website, www.crcofwm.org. These special events, along with all the programs offered by the center, are free to anyone impacted by cancer. New visitors are welcomed to stop by for information and to join in one or all of their activities.
Drop in hours are every Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Volunteers are available to provide comfort items such as port protectors, wigs, hats or pillows as well as locate resources for anyone needing additional assistance. Multiple informational brochures and the center’s lending library are resources for the cancer community. The center is also a place to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, chat with a volunteer or take time for yourself by participating in activities offered.
The Women’s Cancer Support Group will meet Tuesday, July 11, from noon to 1:30 p.m. Participants should bring a bag lunch or snack. Call Patti-Ann at 207-744-6173 for more information.
