Illinois Valley Prostate Cancer Support Group

12/08/2024

Good morning everyone! The IVPCSG has been idle for too long. I am interested in finding out if there are prostate cancer patients in the Illinois Valley that would like to attend a person group gatherings. I am going to change the format up from the original of meeting in a set place. Instead, I would like to have informal meetings maybe getting together for coffee, breakfast or lunch. I am going to put an ad out for the Illinois Valley area. If you would to try this or know someone who might be please let me know. Thank you. Love you guys.

The Mohawk Mission sends you warm wishes this Christmas season! We are planning on starting this group back up in 22024 and are looking for men that would like to be part of it. I plan on changing up how we meet. Instead of meeting at a one meeting place I would to meet for coffee, breakfast or lunch at restaurants around Ottawa. This will be more informal and I think more enjoyable. Let me know if you are interested at tracy@mohawkmission.com. Merry Christmas!

We're looking at starting the in-person group back up. If you live within a short travel of Ottawa, IL and would like to become part of the group, I need you to let me know. You can email me at tracy@mohawkmission.com. I'm thinking of changing the format of the meetings. I would like to see if there is any interest in gathering for coffee or lunch. Then we can just chat around the table. Unless we get interest from at least a few men, we will wait and try again at a later time. So reach out and let me know. Thanks!!
