This month’s topic: 

Your Breasts - What's Normal, What's Not?

Presented by: Kara Kenan and Maggie Fisher

Have you ever wondered -

Your Breasts:  What’s Normal, What’s Not?

Join us for a hands-on, educational (and surprisingly fun!) breast health workshop and learn what’s normal, what’s not, and how to confidently check your own breast tissue for changes using specially designed breast models. This interactive session, led by certified educators from Going Beyond the Pink, helps you become your own best health advocate—because no one knows your body better than you do!

We do everything practical to make this a safe environment, but ultimately it is up to each individual.  Masks are optional, but if you are not feeling well please stay home.  We will have air filtration as well.   Please no perfumes or cologne.

As always, an important aspect of our Circle is the desire to pay it forward by collecting a small donation ($10 suggested) to support Going Beyond the Pink.
