Seeking cosmetologists

RAVENNA

The American Cancer Society is seeking licensed cosmetologists in the area to help with the Look Good Feel Better program. A free training will be from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 26 at Robinson Memorial Hospital, 6847 North Chestnut St. “One of the best and most useful services we offer to cancer patients is this free program, which teaches women beauty tips and techniques on how to improve her appearance while she is receiving treatment. However, the need for cosmetologists in all counties is essential since this program is available to all women in this region,” said Al Stabilito, Northeast Ohio Public Relations Director of the American Cancer Society. All interested cosmetologists are encouraged to attend the training. But those who attend must be licensed and willing to donate about four or five hours per year to help women undergoing treatment. Once trained they will be asked to lead a session twice a year. The registration deadline is Aug. 20. To register call the American Cancer Society at 888-227-6446,option 2.
