Central Plains Cancer Services held its meet and greet yesterday afternoon at Seasons Restaurant in Portage la Prairie. Executive Director Sharilyn Knox shares how it went.

"It was a great turn out, and it was great to see lots of faces -- some new faces, some of our drivers and some of our patients whom I haven't met yet. So, today it's been a success."

She adds, "We have some door prizes for the participants here. And we also have some cookies in the shape of our new logo that were made by the local flower company in town here. It's the first time we've been putting it out at our meet and greet so far. So, first time in Portage."

Knox says they're so happy to see folks come out and show their interest in the organization. She notes she's excited to get to know people, seeing as so many have been involved over the years and she'd like to see that continue.
