Play Safe in the Sun Day at Trump International Golf Club (Florida)

Last week Friday, the Mayor of the City of West Palm Beach, Mayor Lois Frankel declared November 21, 2008, "Play Safe in the Sun Day." This was done in recognition of the valuable contribution that the Women's Dermatologic Society made in a community outreach service supported by L'Oreal USA to enhance the lives of the public at the ADT Championship LPGA Playoffs in West Palm Beach, Florida. They offered free skin cancer screenings by board-certified Florida dermatologists, sun damage assessments, educational materials, free sunscreen, and other sun safety giveaways. Phil Galewitz of Palm Beach Post's, On Call segment was present to chronicle an article for the newspaper.

Thanks to Dr. DeAnne Collier (Jupiter), Dr. Marta Rendon (Boca Raton), Lisa Nguyen (Boston University Medical Student) and Cindy Bae (BU Medical Student) for the great time we had and for encouraging me to use sunscreen to prevent sun damage. A very special thanks also to Nancy Fitzgerald (Director of Communications) for hiring me for the event. It was a pleasure working with you! I am looking forward to the press release where one of the pictures will be featured in 3,000 print, online, and other media. One of the pictures might be featured on a billboard in Times Square, New York! May we take heed to the caution to protect our skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
