November Health Events in Astoria/LIC
Well, being busy got the best of me. I kept thinking I had to post the October Health events and now it’s the end of the month and I still didn’t post it. And October is an important month in the health arena: breast cancer awareness. I am kicking myself for not being able to organize my time. Breast cancer awareness is very important for everyone to know about. If anyone can give me organization tips, I will greatly appreciate it.
