Social Gatherings
POTLUCKS: We will be hosting one community potluck
every quarter this year. We invite you to bring a favorite dish
to share and come connect with others in our community.
Join us on January 30th from 5:30 – 7 pm to kick off the
new year.
BOOK CLUB: Do you enjoy reading? Our book club now meets
monthly! Bring a sack lunch and come discuss our book of
the month. Please call Emilie Jarboe at (602) 712-1006 or
check www.cscaz.org to find out the current book.
OPEN SOCIAL TIME: Come meet up with other CSCAZ
members for this monthly open social time. Gather to discuss
interests and hobbies, play a game, work on an art project,
or just have a cup of coffee and chat.
CREATIVE CORNER: We’ve all gone through a time when
we could use a little bit of sunshine to brighten our day.
This class is an opportunity for members of our community
to create items to do just that.
Items made in class will be delivered to members of our
community who need a reminder that there are brighter
days ahead and they are not alone on their cancer journey.

Support
We have two NEW support groups to offer this quarter: Surviving and Thriving is a support group for those who
are more than 18 months post cancer treatment who are looking to support one another as you move into a new
phase after a cancer diagnosis. Living with Loss is a support group for people who are surviving the death from a
cancer diagnosis of a loved one. Open to those who have experienced this loss within the last 18 months. Both
groups will meet on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 1-2:30 p.m.
EXPRESSIVE ARTS SUPPORT SERIES
Starting on February 4, this four-part series will help you explore and process through different expressive arts including
writing, guided meditation, music and art! Learn new skills to optimize your well-being and increase awareness with
attention to mindful approaches. You may attend one or all.
