This signature photo from the Sixth Annual Roseanne Roseannadanna Golf Benefit says it all. We beat our goal of $150,000 and raised more than $180,000.

 

This astonishing success couldn't have happened without the support of our sponsors, live and silent auction donors, golfers, guests, celebrities, Noogieland kids, GCTC staff, 2013 Golf Committee Chair Laura Bloch, and  

our amazing volunteers.

| How I Earned My Eagle Feathers
   David McNally  

David McNally

My wife, Jo, passed away 10 years ago from ovarian cancer. In addition to my own personal loss, my five children were faced with the loss of their loving and caring mother. I know you will agree there is no replacement for a parent's love and support, but had there been a Gilda's Club in the Twin Cities to help us deal with our loss, it would have been incredibly helpful.  

 

Three years ago I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma that had metastized as a lump in my neck. My children now had to witness their father having extensive surgery and a debilitating round of radiation and chemotherapy. Where do you go to talk about and find support when there is the potential to lose yet another parent to this deadly disease?

Are You Interested in Yoga Classes?

Chance Docherty is a certified Kundalini Yoga instructor. She has generously offered to re-start the Kundalini Yoga class that ended in February when our long-time GCTC friend and provider, Erika Kearney, moved to Wisconsin.

When our clubhouse is open we will be offering Yoga, but until that time Chance will hold a class at Living Waters located at 12201 Minnetonka Blvd, Minnetonka.

She would like to hear from those who are interested and able to take a class on early Friday afternoons. Start time TBD based upon student availability.

If you would like more information please contact Chance Docherty directly at:
chancerama@aol.com
or call her at 612-310-8276. 


Thank you Chance for being so supportive.
