+ important note










Hello all,

Hope you all have been reveling in the joys of summer.  Time continues to be a
mystery….can’t believe it’s almost fall!

Attached is the flyer for the September 10th program.  In addition we have had
car pooling requests.  Probably the best way to accommodate this
request is to have those of you who need rides and those of you who would be
willing to provide rides respond to this email with a “reply all” and
give your name, “need” or “provide”, contact info and metro area.  That
way you all can  contact each other individually to arrange transportation.
Hopefully this makes sense and that it works!

Again, thank you in advance for sending this info out to your various email
lists!

Peace,

INMH Steering Committee

800 Transfer Road, Suite 31

                        Who Am I Now?


                        (Embedded image moved to file: pic10540.jpg)Mary
Kowalski"One of my favorite elements of ALVA is that it encourages
                        participants to come to terms with who they are now,"
says Mary Kowalski (at left), facilitator at Century College and part of
                        the team that develop the ALVA curriculum. "I know from
my own experience, that things are different as you go through the
                        transitions of later life. And taking charge of how you
want to live this part of your life makes all the difference."

                        "I started the class thinking of myself simply as
'retired,' says ALVA participant, Peg Kavaney. "I left the class with a whole
                        new identity, as a civic leader. ALVA helped me use my
brain, have a little stress, and learn."

                        According to Annette Contos, "The class taught me to try
a ready, set, go mentality rather than a go, ready, set mentality. Not
                        easy! But it is going to pay off in the long run."






                        ALVA PROFILE
                        Joy Gordon
                        (Embedded image moved to file: pic26023.jpg)John Gordon
                        Joy took the ALVA class to improve her leadership skills
and to bring more of those skills into her work and her life in her
                        community. The class changed her view of leadership. She
realized how complex it is.

                        "I learned about the qualities that make a good leader:
vision, passion, commitment, persistence, willingness to listen and the
                        ability to empower others," says Joy. "Leadership is more
than just taking charge. It's about creating a space for openness
                        that helps people feel safe in sharing their views and
allows a greater vision to emerge."

                        "I grew as a person as a result of the class," Joy added.
The class caused her to look inside and see what she needed to work
                        on as a leader. "As a leader, you have to be self-aware.
You have to know your strengths and weaknesses. You don't want
                        anything to get in the way."







                                                                               
"Individuals with a mature sense of civic identity are fully engaged,
                                                                              
fully human citizens of their communities. . . . They see their role in
                                                                               
life as contributing to the long-term greater good. And perhaps most
                                                                                            
importantly, they have the courage to act."

             Carrie Haynes
             Spotlight on Women's Health
             Interview with a woman affected by breast cancer


             Carrie's mom was a quiet soul with a big heart. She moved her life
from Sri Lanka
             to America to follow her dream of teaching. But at the young age of
40, with three
             young children, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. For 10 years,
her daughter
             Carrie saw her through both good times and bad. Read Carrie's
interview to learn
             how she has used the loss of her mother as an instrument of change
in her own
             life.

             What are Thyroid Diseases and How do They Affect Women?


             Your thyroid (THY-roid) is a small gland found at the base of your
neck, just
             below your Adam's apple. The thyroid produces hormones that control
the rate of
             many activities in your body, including how fast you burn calories
and how fast
             your heart beats. Millions of people in the U.S. have thyroid
diseases. Most of
             them are women. Thyroid disorders that can affect women include:
                   Disorders that cause hyperthyroidism
                   Disorders that cause hypothyroidism
                   Thyroid nodules
                   Thyroiditis
                   Thyroid cancer
                   Goiter

             What Women Want to Know
             Highlights from the womenshealth.gov call center


             We received an e-mail from a woman who had taken an HIV test through
a service
             that sends the results through the mail. The first test results she
received said
             she tested positive for HIV. She took two more tests that said she
tested negative
             for HIV. She wanted to know why the first test would come back with
a positive
             result if she was getting negative results now.


             We provided her with online resources on HIV testing and told her
that if, after
             reading this information, she was still in need of additional
resources, she
             should contact us again.

friendship and
             empowers girls to "grow strong together, stay strong forever." Your
daughter will

http://www.bestbonesforever.gov
             , which includes quizzes, recipes, and activities she can do with
her BFF (best
             friend forever). There's a Web site for you as well at
             http://www.bestbonesforever.gov/parents. Learn about your own bone
health needs,
             print recipes, and find tips to help your daughter build her best
