FREE SKIN CANCER SCREENINGS TODAY

All around the country today, you can get free melanoma checks—an endeavor so worthwhile I cannot underscore it enough. I watched my stepfather die of the disease; it is a terrible death. And I only recently found out that Bob Marley died of it as well. But if you catch melanoma early—and I know several people who have, thanks to skin-cancer screenings—it’s no more trouble than removing a mole.

If the free traveling ones aren’t near you, SCHEDULE A DERMATOLOGIST APPOINTMENT!!! Do it today!

In addition: Stay out of the sun! Reapply sunscreen constantly!*

—Jean Godfrey-June, beauty director

*There is a new bracelet that reminds you when to reapply by changing color when it’s time—a brilliant idea, as no one, including me, applies often enough. Or, in general, enough.
