The ninth annual presentation of Mujeres Unidas en Celebración (Women United in Celebration) took place June 20 with nearly 300 Latina cancer survivors and their guests in attendance. Presented by The Wellness Community Valley/Ventura at The Odyssey Restaurant in Granada Hills, the program included a nutrition presentation, free distribution of prostheses and wigs, and live music by Mariachi Cuicatlán. Councilmember Dennis Zine presented a Certificate of Appreciation to The Wellness Community for its work on behalf of Latinos with cancer and their families. One participant said, "The event was entertaining and well-organized - it was also very informative. Thanks to The Wellness Community, my mother is stronger and happier and I am better informed. The Wellness Community has changed many lives with its support, and many Latinas would feel lost without its tireless efforts."
