The American Cancer Society has sent us information on free education
programs that they offer.  I am polling to see if enough employees would be
interested in any session to make it worthwhile.  We would need a minimum of
15 interested employees in order to schedule a particular session.

I have listed the topics available and if you are interested, please let me
know and if there is enough interest, I will contact the American Cancer
Society and schedule a convenient time.

With the 15th annual 'Great American Smokeout' upcoming on November 21, the
American Cancer Society offers -

           TOBACCO AND HEALTH
           FEMININE MISTAKE: WOMEN AND SMOKING
           SPECIAL DELIVERY - an educational session for pregnant women
                              who smoke

Other sessions include -
           Women's Health: The Good News About Cancer
           Breast Health Program
           Men's Health: What You Should Know About Cancer
           Taking Control/Eating Smart
           Skin Cancer
           Hepatitis B and Liver Cancer
           Prevention in the Workplace

I have a short description of each course if you would like further details.


Let me know if anything looks interesting!

Ok - another plea from your friendly H.R. department -

I recently put out a memo about free educational seminars offered by the
American Cancer Society.  A number of employees indicated an interest in
the following seminars -

          Skin Cancer
          Men's Health: What You Should Know About Cancer
          Taking Control/Eating Smart
          Prevention in the Workplace
          Women's Health: The Good News About Cancer
          Breast Health Program

Here is the problem - we need a minimum of 15 people for each session in
order for the cancer society to send out a speaker.  No one session has
15 people signed-up, please re-think and let me know if you would be
interested in attending one or more of the sessions.  Sessions will be
brief, about an hour.

If you need more information about any session, please give me a call
at Ext. 3754 or via VAX @ grossman.

Where your health is concerned, an hour of your time is not a big 
investment!

This message is directed to all Atari Games and Tengen SMOKERS!

Atari Games has agreed to hire a facilitator through the American Cancer
Society to help those interested employees QUIT smoking.  There are five
one hour sessions which would be held at Atari Games, probably in the
Central Conference Room.  We already have several people signed up for
this program.

If you are a smoker, this is a perfect opportunity to make 1991 the year
to quit.  Please let me know before the end of the day, Friday, September
27 if you would like to join the Smoking Cessation Program.  We are trying
to coordinate this program to be completed on or about November 21 to help
celebrate the GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT!
