Tea & Gratitude: Make a Memory Event Celebrating Cancer Survivors and their Caretakers and Cheerleaders, Bennett Cancer Center, Stamford, CT

On Sunday, May 16th, we’ll be taking our cameras to the Italian Center for an event with the Bennett Cancer Center in Stamford, CT.  We’ve designed a whole afternoon of speakers and activities to celebrate cancer survivors and their caretakers.  So, anyone being treated for cancer at Bennett is invited to bring the people for whom they are the most grateful.  Some are coming with their spouses, some have invited friends, family, or other loved-ones – you know, those people who prepare meals, drive to chemo, come to doctor’s appointments, watch the kids and are basically just always there to provide emotional support.

It’s an afternoon designed to get people talking, laughing, telling stories, sharing old memories and creating new ones.  There will be a talk by professional storyteller Laconia Therrio, an interactive comedy workshop with comedienne Jacqueline Kabat, high tea and live music.  During the tea, photographer Nina Pomeroy will be on hand to take portraits and Just So You Know will be offering 15 minute interview sessions to the survivors and their invited guests.
