Dear Students:

>I would like to invite you to join the Vietnamese Cancer Awareness,
>Research and Education Society ( VN CARES). VN CARES is an organization
>comprised of UC Davis students and alumni committed to promoting cancer
>awareness in the Vietnamese community and assisting eligible women in
>receiving free breast and cervical cancer screenings in the Sacramento
>area. We are funded by the Health Education Council: Breast Cancer Early
>Detection Program, sponsored by the UC Davis OB/GYN Department: Breast and
>Cervical Cancer Control Program and also work with The American Cancer
>Society, Asian Health Professionals Association, Planned Parenthood, and
>Breast Imaging Center.
>
>Besides our usual outreaches and clinical services, VN CARES will hold its
>2nd Annual Vietnamese Health Fair, "Healthier Lifestyle: How Nutrition and
>Exercise Affect Your Risk of Cancer" at the UC Davis Cancer Center on June
>1, 2002. Our goal is reach out to the underserved Vietnamese community to
>provide information on all types of cancer and available resources for
>early detection screenings. We also hope to inform them about women's
>health issues and of ways to decrease their risk of cancer, particularly
>through nutrition and exercise, in fun interactive activities in a
>culturally sensitive environment.
>
>To contribute to the success of the Health Fair, we are looking for
>volunteers to help us develop informative and interactive booths for kids
>and adults on the topic of cancer, nutrition, exercise and women's health.
>Speaking and being Vietnamese is not a requirement!
>
>On behalf of VN CARES, I would like to thank you for your time and hope
>that you are able to join us in promoting cancer awareness, women's health
>and healthier lifestyles.
