Toastmasters invite you to hear inspirational speech by cancer survivor

By Billie Owens

The public is invited to hear the powerful and inspirational account of a Genesee Community College graduate's battle with a rare form of cancer.

"Life is Tough But I Am Tougher" is alumna Suzanne Smith's (Class of '09) story of the challenges she met and overcame following her diagnosis, which occurred shortly after she graduated from GCC as a nontraditional student.

Her speech will be given from 5 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 25, at the GCC Multicultural Communications Club, Toastmasters International, meeting in the Conable Technology Building T102 at the Batavia campus, located at 1 College Road.

The meeting will also feature speeches by GCC students Tim Duboy and Sean Hale as they work toward their communication certification. There will also be a 50/50 raffle for participants.

For further information, please contact Jackie DiBella at 343-0055, ext. 6266, or at jedibella@genesee.edu.
