Hi Friends!
Tiffany and I are throwing a party this Sunday, September 20th and you are invited!!! Live music begins at 12:30 and the movie will begin at 2:00pm.
Please join us to celebrate the incredible advancements in science that have taken place in only the past few years in cancer research that are going to allow my own immune system to defeat a rather rude attempt of cancerous tumors to interrupt my plans!
I have licensed the rights to show my favorite science fiction movie, CONTACT, on our newly upgraded theater at Shoreline Community College. This will be the very first showing of a movie on this amazing state of the art system that will serve our students, our college, the Shoreline Film Office and our community for years to come.
I’m fortunate that the gene based chemotherapy I only just began this week along with a bit of cheerleading and support from my friends will allow me to continue to work and serve our community. Some of our students, however, find that their educational plans are interrupted by illness that results in financial difficulties which lead to them dropping out staying in at the expense of their long term health.
I am pleased to announce that this event will additionally serve as an early kick-off to supporting our College Foundation as it works to create a fund that will be fully established within the next few months by Tiffany and myself with the purpose of helping our students with illness.
This event is free but please consider making a pledge (there will be forms) to help our foundation support students with health related needs.
Feel free to bring snacks and or food to share potluck style!
The movie will be over at 4:30 which should give you plenty of time to get to where you plan on watching the Hawks game at 5:30!
Thank you,
Mark and Tiffany McVeety
