History
When we organized our Woman’s Cancer Association in 1959 the ladies decided
that all funds be designated for cancer control, cancer welfare and cancer education
The members recall one woman patient requesting help after extensive corrective
surgery making it impossible for her to return to work. A plastic surgeon donated
his services, but she needed $900.00 for related expenses. Madelon Ravlin hosted
a tea at her home to raise the funds needed. Molly Bush donated a linen cloth and
napkins for a raffle. Molly also requested that the ladies each bring a silver dollar
to place in a silver bowl. This was the beginning of the Silver Lady fund. All members
rallied round and to the delight of all, we raised $1,200.00. This was the first
Silver Lady Tea, officially named the Molly Bush Silver Lady Tea in 1963. Since
then we have come a long way.
This is a facet of our organization we would like to see enhanced so we can assist
more cancer patients. Our charter clearly states in our objectives. “Please
help us assist more indigent cancer patients each month. Theses patients need our
help so desperately, let’s do our best to make their lives a little better.
