As many of you have read, this year I have been an ambassador to my school's SkillsUSA Community Service team, "Together WE CAN (Cancer Awareness Network)". It has been a pleasure of mine to take the responsibility of bringing awareness to the cause. I feel honored to get involved in their inspiring program so I too can spread the message and express to others the importance of early detection. Being able to participate in charity events, fundraisers, and walks with the members of the team, Erica Poirier, Lacey O'Neil, Beth Belanger, and their advisor, Rosemary Quirk, has opened my eyes and made me realize if more people can get involved then maybe one day we CAN put an end to this epidemic. However, I am very pleased to announce that over the weekend the Community Service Team participated in the SkillsUSA State Competition. They did a phenomenal job and received a gold medal for all their generosity, hard work, and commitment. They will be competing nationally in June! Congratulations to the Together We CAN Team! I am so proud!!
