Historias de Clares

A small, and hopefully mostly true, biography on Saint Clare, my patron saint, on her feast day.

Saint Clare's Health recently sponsored its annual Survivor's Day Brunch on June 9 at the Rockaway River Country Club. Over 140 survivors and their guests were treated to brunch, complementary medicine, a basket raffle, and encouraging words by Christine Ferdinand, founder of the Operation Bling Foundation. Staff and community friends volunteered to help make this a meaningful event. Brandy Johnson, MSW, of the Center for Cancer Care at Saint Clare's, oversaw the event.

Set 71 years on from the original Malory Towers series and Rosie Rivers, Darrell River's granddaughter is setting out on her journey to Malory Towers just as her grandmother and mother had before her. It is 2016 and Malory Towers has undergone some modernising changes following the introduction of electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers and televisions, but still contains its old charm that it's always had upon its Cornish cliff top.
