Dear Glen,
This is what's happening remotely at HopeSpring this week.  

  <https://mcusercontent.com/245009009133a608181d89b73/images/51f084a8-a703-47ac-88d7-6ead0b61700e.png>

This November the annual HopeSpring Holiday Home Tour fundraiser was cancelled due to COVID restrictions; not only is it our top fundraiser for the year, it is an event that the community looks forward to and attends by the thousands annually.

Each year it is brought to life by several local business partners, without their help, the event could not happen. This year three of those partners got together to produce this specular, inspirational video and the 2020 version of the  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=336aa170d4&e=ece80c31c3> Holiday Home Tour.

Just in case you didn't get a chance to see this  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=635450bea8&e=ece80c31c3> inspirational holiday video. This video was a collaboration between three of HopeSprings partners. We think that they did tremendous work and owe a huge amount of gratitude to these individuals for going over and above and this bringing this beautiful production to life! You are all such an inspiration!

Floral designs, creation, photography and production by our local heroes- Hi Way Flowers Mary-Beth Kennedy, Jeremy Daly Photography and Video, and interior design by Patricia Arruda.

When You Should See a Community Dietitian?
Cancer and cancer treatment can affect your appetite (when you do not have a feeling of hunger or interest in food). You may also have questions about what you should eat.
Talk to your health care team about any trouble you have eating (e.g. upset stomach, trouble swallowing) or if it becomes harder to eat.

A Registered Dietitian has training in food and nutrition. A Registered Dietitian will work with you to make a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
