Welcome to 2017! What a wonderful way to start off a New Year - a fresh and redesigned Program Calendar! We hope that you will find this new format more accessible and make it easier for you to plan your program of cancer support months in advance. We encourage you to connect with Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka, whether for the first time, or in a fresh new way if you are already a part of our cancer support community.

The snow is blowing, the wind is howling, and yet as cancer takes no holiday and happens in every season, so too must our Program of cancer support. In 2016, over 1,500 individuals received support in living with cancer in their lives through Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka. We held over 175 adult support groups and 115 educational lectures. A further 200 children participated in their own specialized programming including support groups, camp days and family activities. As we welcome a New Year, we anticipate that many more will call upon our cancer support Program for the emotional and social support we have proudly offered since opening our Red Door in May of 2010.

The New Year promises much in the way of enhanced social and emotional support as we look to add to our robust Program in response to the changing cancer experience, and in response to the feedback shared by Members through our annual Program Survey. As such, in the coming months you will see more opportunities to connect, share and learn as survivors; see an increase in

the kinds of support groups offered, along with the ways in which they are offered, including shorter group series and topic based discussions; see a continued commitment to bringing more educational based presentations; and the opportunity to work more closely with the special needs and busy schedules of our families living with cancer.

Around the Clubhouse, you will also see some exciting new additions including our registration kiosk, that will allow Members and volunteers to sign-in as well as register for activities; our interactive website Program Calendar www.gildasclubsimcoemuskoka.org that now easily and conveniently allows you to stay in touch with cancer support wherever you are; and the addition this Spring of our Gilda’s Courtyard of Hope http://gildasclubsimcoemuskoka.org/courtyard-of-hope-bricks/.

There is much happening at Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka in 2017 and we hope that you will join us. Whether you are living with your own cancer diagnosis, or have been impacted by the cancer diagnosis of a family member or friend, we are living with cancer, living well with cancer, and living beyond cancer at Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka. We invite you to become a part of our cancer support community, so that no one faces cancer alone. You are not alone.

Yours in cancer support,

Noogieland™ is specifically designed for children and teens ages 4-17, who have a loved one living with cancer, have a diagnosis of cancer themselves, or are grieving the loss of a loved one. Noogieland™ is named after the “noogies” that Todd (Bill Murray) gave to Lisa (Gilda Radner) on Saturday Night Live. Aimed at educating, supporting, and connecting families impacted by cancer in any way, the free Noogieland™ program for children and families features:

SUPPORT GROUPS: Our free kids’ support groups are facilitated by licensed clinicians and provide a safe environment for kids to share their feelings.

FREE Support for Children, Teens, and Families

WORKSHOPS: We offer a variety of free kids’ workshops. These workshops allow the kids to explore various avenues of expression, while building a community with the other children who have a loved one living with cancer, have a diagnosis of cancer themselves or are grieving the loss of a loved one. Workshops include:

Family Fun Nights- nights devoted to families having fun together

Creative Kids- creative arts workshops that encourage self-expression while promoting socialization and an outlet for fun

NoogieNights- children gather to play, socialize and engage in special activities with other children who are impacted by cancer

SEASONAL CAMPS: Offered as a day camp in the winter and summer breaks from school, Camp Sparkle and Kids Summer Kamp provides fun themes, specialized workshops and lots of laughter for children and youth who have a loved one living with cancer, have a diagnosis of cancer themselves or are grieving the loss of a loved one. There is no fee for Camp Noogie but registration is required as there is limited space.

TEEN SCENE: - Teens gather monthly to hang out and socialize with other teens who know what it is like to have cancer themselves or to have cancer in the family.
