October Community Service
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
At our October NACE meeting we will be collecting headscarves for women who have lost their hair after receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. The Red Devils, www.the-red-devils.org, is a local organization supporting Maryland Families living with breast cancer and they will distribute the scarves.
The name, The Red Devils, was inspired by Katherine Russell Rich, the author of The Red Devil, To Hell with Cancer and Back — a window into the heart of another young woman whose struggle with breast cancer is marked by courage, grace and humor. "Red devil" is a common name for chemotherapy drugs known to many breast cancer survivors for their brilliant red color.
The Red Devils have established relationships with local businesses to provide transportation, meals and house cleaning services. By working with these service providers and our participating hospitals and breast centers, they are able to help ease the burden of this disease for some of those in need. Please bring a cheerful headscarf with you to the October meeting. Scarves should measure approximately 34”-36” square. |

The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are starting to turn, and Baltimore is PACKED with events!!! It must be October!
October has always been one of my times of year. For one thing, I look smashing in fall colors! I get to dust off those cozy sweaters and start layering. Plus, I really love pumpkin and ginger and candy! It's also a sign that my all-time favorite holiday - Thanksgiving - is just around the corner!
It's crazy to think that 2008 is almost over, but at least we have a TON of fall events to keep us busy!
NACE Baltimore is keeping just as busy this season, even though our annual UNCORKED! fundraiser has been moved from October to March 16, 2009 (mark your calendars!). Join us on the 20th for Oktoberfest - what could be better than delicious food, tasty beer and spending a lovely fall evening with your NACE friends?
I hope to see all of you in the coming months! Don't hesitate to contact me - or any of your Baltimore Board members - with questions, comments or feedback along the way. We are all working diligently to make this Chapter work for you!
Sincerely,
Alicia Karoll
Director of Administration & Facility Rental Coordinator, American Visionary Art Museum
President, National Association of Catering Executives, Baltimore Chapter
