A celebrating and sharing event featuring Patricia Wellingham-Jones, RN, PhD, Wednesday, August 19th, 7-8:30 p.m. at Grilla Bites Restaurant, 196 Cohasset Rd., Garden Villa, Chico, CA.  Come hear participants of the “Telling our Stories” writing group share gems from the quick writes done in the group. Some stories are about cancer, many are not-all are rich with the experience of living.  Patients and their families, staff and volunteers, and anyone interested in using writing and art to heal, are invited to join the evening of celebrating and sharing our stories.

In the Tibetan tradition, prayer flags fly from the housetops, trees and in mountain passes — wherever the wind can catch and carry their messages of hope, peace, strength and wisdom throughout the world. For our project, more than 600 flags were created by community members and students as symbols of hope for cancer patients and their families. Many of the flags were made at Outlaw games, the Artoberfest booths, Relay for life or the Bull-riding competition. 300 of the flags were created by students at Rosedale elementary school. Each flag offers a unique expression of caring.
