Learn inexpensive and healthy ways to lower your risk of breast cancer at a free presentation at the Rockport Art Association on 12 Main Street, Rockport. Join us for this life-changing talk on Wednesday, September 14 at 7 P.M.? Essex County residents (especially women between the ages of 40 and 50), will be taught three easy, inexpensive, healthy and effective ways to significantly reduce the body?s ability to develop invasive breast cancer. Admission is free.
This program is part of the ?Essex County Busting Breast Cancer Initiative? designed to decrease the incidence of invasive breast cancer in Essex County through education and awareness.? The Essex County Initiative is National Breast Cancer Prevention Project?s pilot program, for developing regional initiatives in areas with an extremely high cancer rate.
For art lovers, there will be the opportunity to own an original Charles Movalli oil painting, which will be on display. The artist generously donated this painting in memory of Carleen Muniz, a former Rockport Art Association artist member, who died of breast cancer in 2009. Muniz was mentored by Movalli, and was a talented artist in her own right. Raffle tickets are $25.00 each and the drawing will be held at the end of October 2011. Proceeds of the raffle are to benefit the ?Essex County Busting Breast Cancer Initiative.?
Charles Movalli is the son of artists in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Movalli became an art teacher, influential art editor and writer. But above all, he is a painter. His dramatic brushwork creates the vibrant lighting and sense of movement that has earned this Cape Ann artist dozens of significant awards, a listing in Who?s Who in American Art and memberships in prestigious art associations, including Oil Painters of America.
Tasty and fabulous appetizers will be provided by Grapevine Catering. Wine and water will also be served. Knowledgeable staff from Common Crow will be in attendance as well to present products that are beneficial in lowering breast cancer risks.
The National Breast Cancer Prevention Project, formerly Know Breast Cancer, was founded by Susan Wadia-Ells, PhD. The organization is focused is on helping women to stop breast cancer before it starts, rather than focusing on detection and treatment. Wadia-Ells? forthcoming book ?Busting Breast Cancer? is based on international research over the past 5 plus years and will change the way the world thinks of breast cancer.
