REGULAR MEETING October 8, 2018 Councilmember Gavin Ferlic stated, Thank you for the very important work you do in the community. Councilmember John Voorde stated, Thanks. Again, it is good to be part of anything that raises awareness to anything that raises awareness to something like this. It is hard to believe that with such an important and common message that someone wouldn't know it and do what they can to prevent it these days. Whatever helps, it's my pleasure to be part of it. Councilmember Jake Teshka stated, Thank you, Linda, for sharing your story. Thank you to the women who spoke who work on a day in and day out basis to combat this. As Gavin said, it is such important work that you guys do with love and care. I know it is taxing on yourself emotionally but the care you provide for your patients is fantastic so thank you. Councilmember Jo M. Broden stated, Thank you and keep telling your story, right? I really appreciate it and that is how we beat this. I have a sister-in-law and a best friend. My sister-in-law is about seven(7)years out and doing well. My best friend,his situation is over and done with and he has served on national boards and etcetera. So, this hits everybody, right? Whether directly or as a family member or someone of concern. I would like to take this opportunity just to thank you as health care providers and support service survivors because that is all within the realm of what you do day-to-day on behalf of our community. I would also like to hold up the Secret Sister Society whom I know is very important in partnership with you all. How I first(1St)became aware of this issue at a very early age, despite being the last in age of seven (7) sisters, was WNDU and their Buddy Check. I think about way back when they established that program. I know I'm probably missing other key groups and individuals who are raising dollars to get over some of the costs of care, treatment and screenings, so I apologize. You all do great work, we are all indebted to you, and again, thank you very much. Councilmember Sharon L. McBride stated, Thank you all for your service and the services you provide for the community. To the Council, thank you for bringing such an awareness. I know it does not do justice to just honor you for one(1)day but this small token,publicly,is well-deserved and appreciated. Thank you again and hopefully we can make a small impact for people to start getting checked. Councilmember Tim Scott stated, Thank you all. The support and services are incredible. This is near and dear to my heart. Someone near and dear to me will go through their one (1) year mark Friday. So,thank you all.
