Join The Next Young Adult Cancer Book Club

It’s time for another round of the Young Adult Cancer Book Club!

Our next book club pick is Wild, by Cheryl Strayed. Here at Cactus Cancer Society, we’re really excited to read this book together!

The books are packed and ready to go and that means that it’s time for you to sign up to receive one of the 32 free books that we’re send out to young adult cancer patients and survivors in exchange for sharing your commentary on one of the book’s chapters.  Click here to sign up for your free book!

We’ll be sending the books out in mid-February. The reading assignments (for what chapter we’d love your commentary on) will go out then too, and we’ll start sharing your commentary in early March.

Once this round of book club officially starts, there are several ways for you to be involved in the book club:

  • Read the book along with us and check out the Young Adult Voices blog each Friday, starting March 11th for the next book chapter’s installment!
  • If you get behind, check out this page for all of the posts for the Wild round of book club.
  • If you’d like to contribute your comments about a chapter, email aerial@lacunaloft.org at least a few days ahead of the Friday when that chapter will be discussed, with your comments!

Happy reading!!

Just for Guys!!

We’ve got some exciting news! Have you heard about our newest program initiative, The Guys Discussion Group?

Led by LCSW Dennis Heffern, each month we’ll hear from a different community member on a certain topic with a chance for open discussion at the end.  In this guys-only program, we’ll shoot the breeze with men of all young adult cancer experiences.  Nothing is off the table.  You won’t want to miss it!

The first one starts on August 23rd!  Sign up to be on our email list (more on that below) and we’ll send you the Zoom link when it’s time!  This group is for any guy facing cancer, whether that means patient, survivor, or caregiver.

For more details check out the program page here, and for questions, feel free to reach out to aerial@lacunaloft.org!

Sign up on our program list using the link below, choosing ‘Guys’ Discussion Group’ as one of the programs for which you’d like notifications.  Lacuna Loft will send you an email about a week before the workshop with information on how to join the video chat. ***You’ll need the link that we’ll provide you, a headset with a microphone, and a webcam.***
