Alliance Member Donna Spagna and Rose Simmons at Ribbon Cutting
 
Santa Clara County Alliance Member Donna Spagna and special guest (on left) Rose Simmons, Chief Operating Officer of the American Cancer Society San Francisco Bay Area cut the ribbon at the newly refurbished Wig Bank at the American Cancer Society Office in Campbell, California. The photo on the right shows the huge mirror donated by the Alliance. Many Alliance women have stepped up to the sink to be wig washing women including Alliance member Sally Normington and Donna who take a selection of these wigs to offer to women at the Stanford Cancer Center each month. Special kudos to Cambrian Mirror and Glass for a beautiful job on the beveled mirror.
