It's a two-for-one deal at this month's Lunch and Learn program of the Blount Memorial Cancer Center, as there are two speakers for this month's one luncheon program. First, Mane Support founder and executive director Kim Henry presents "Healing with Horses," during which she'll talk about using equine-assisted counseling to address the grief and loss issues of children and adults. Then, Joe Tolson, a volunteer with The Center for Courageous Kids, talks about the year-round medical camp that's located in Scottsville, Ky. that serves children suffering from chronic medical conditions or life-threatening illnesses and their families.

The Lunch and Learn program -- or programs -- takes place tomorrow from noon to 1 p.m. in the Cancer Center's conference rooms 1 and 2 on the second floor. Registrations are required and can be made by calling 980-5038.

Even though yesterday was the official end to Sun Safety Week, it doesn't mean sun-safety precautions no longer need to be followed. Remember, sunburns can happen even on the cloudiest of days, and concrete, sand, water and snow reflect 85 to 90 percent of the sun's UV rays. Because of these things, the Sun Safety Alliance reminds you -- and those traveling through the great outdoors with you -- to take the proper sun-safety precautions by wearing protective clothing, eyewear and sunscreen.
