Ival Stratford- Kovner

Ival writes, "I will be offering painting workshops in Stowe, Vermont, during "Stowe Days of Hope" May 1- 3, 2015. Each year I instruct two painting sessions - usually at Trapp Family Lodge, a free conference for cancer survivors across the US. 

I love this event - and please share the weekend with anyone you may know who might feel like coming to Vermont. It's a very positive experience - loads of good activities and informative workshops on every type of cancer.

 

I'll be celebrating 20 years cancer free - this March actually - and so it's one way many of us can give back after all the kind support we've received from others while we were experiencing treatment and survivorship."
