from other chapters, and enjoying a delicious breakfast. However, Covid-
19, the Delta variant, came along and is attacking even those of us who
have been vaccinated.

So, rather than an in-person meeting in October, it will be a Zoom
meeting. Relax in the comfort of your home and catch up on what The Pap
Corps is doing and hear one of Sylvester Comprehensive doctors speak to
us. For this meeting we will hear from Dr. Gilberto Lopes, whose specialty
is Medical Oncology and Thoracic Medical Oncology.

If you would like to listen in please contact Belinda Coon,
954-609-4323 and she will send you the Zoom link.
