US THE SPACE EACH MONTH AND FOR HER HELP ON AWARENESS WEEK. DECEMBER'S DATE IS NOT YET SET.

ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12TH, FIVE MEMBERS OF US TOO - BRAMPTON WHO ARE ON HORMONAL THERAPY WERE BUSED TO ABBOTT LABORATORIES IN TORONTO. THERE THE GROUP MET WITH FOUR MEMBERS OF THE NEWMARKET SUPPORT GROUP AND REPRESENTATIVES OF ABBOTT. THE 11-MEMBER PANEL DISCUSSED THE OPTIONS OF HORMONAL THERAPY. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK PETER BECKETT, MORRIS RAMBOUT, RON HUNT AND SEAN BUTTERLY FOR ATTENDING. ONCE AGAIN, WHEN WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO HELP CURE THIS DISEASE, US TOO - BRAMPTON MEMBERS COME THROUGH. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK HOWARD SIDSWORTH AND ASTRA ZENECA FOR
SIZEABLE DONATIONS TO OUR TREASURY. THIS MARKS THE SIXTH YEAR THAT HOWARD HAS MADE A DONATION. EACH YEAR HOWARD RUNS A GOLF
TOURNAMENT AND THE PROCEEDS GO TO PURCHASE A MAJOR PIECE OF MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FOR CENTENNIAL HOSPITAL. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO
RECEIVE A SMALL PORTION OF THIS EACH YEAR. WHY? BECAUSE HIS GROUP HAS LOST FRIENDS TO PROSTATE CANCER. WE WILL TRY TO GET THE SIDSWORTHS OUT TO OUR CHRISTMAS SOCIAL SO YOU CAN THANK THEM PERSONALLY.

WE STILL HAVE SOME ANNUAL $10 MEMBERSHIP FEES NOT PAID. THIS FEE PAYS FOR THIS BULLETIN, ENVELOPES AND STAMPS FOR THIS YEAR. OUR MAILING LIST NOW EXCEEDS 100. YOUR PAYMENT IS APPRECIATED.

AT THE SEPTEMBER MEETING THERE WERE FOUR OF US WHO RECEIVED ACCOLADES FOR A JOB WELL DONE. WE WOULD LIKE TO SPREAD THE CREDIT AROUND. THERE ARE NOW OVER 20 MEMBERS ON SEVERAL COMMITTEES DOING VARIOUS FUNCTIONS THAT MAKE THIS A VERY STRONG GROUP. IN ADDITION, WHEN WE ASK FOR VOLUNTEERS, YOU COME THROUGH. US TOO - BRAMPTON IS ONE OF THE BEST SUPPORT GROUPS ANYWHERE. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE WORKING ON SPECIAL-COLOURED NAME TAGS BY TREATMENT AS SUGGESTED BY "WALLY" SEELEY, AND THE SETTING UP OF SUBCOMMITTEES TO CARRY OUT VARIOUS TASKS AND REPORT TO THE STEERING COMMITTEE OR CHAIRMAN. ALSO, WOULD THOSE WITH COMPUTERS LIKE TO GET THIS BULLETIN BY E-MAIL?

OUR SPEAKER ON NOVEMBER 14TH WILL TALK ABOUT DIET AND PROSTATE CANCER. SEE YOU THERE.

Enjoy the evening,........................................ Don Grant, Communications.
