Healing Weekend At Second Wind Cancer Retreat

Second Wind recently hosted its first "Healing Weekend" for cancer patients. The weekend was organized and facilitated by Kathy Poodiak of Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers. In addition to relaxing, participants enjoyed Kathy's program themed "Finding Shelter In The Storm." Amazingly, as soon as Kathy ended her program, a big thunderstorm came rolling through the valley! Thanks to Kathy, Pam and Diane - and to Nancy Goodson for her wonderful signature vanilla pound cake!

Cancer Retreat Gets "Spring Cleaning" by Master Gardeners

Members of the Blue Ridge Chapter of the Master Gardeners recently visited Second Wind to provide planting, pine straw spreading and general landscape clean-up. They planted a pink and a white dogwood (in honor of Marti Nunn's Mom and Dad) - and added more stonework to provide a new walkway so guests can get a closer look at the butterfly garden this year. We appreciate all their hard work to make Second Wind more inviting and beautiful!
