BANGOR -- The American Cancer Society is looking for licensed cosmetologists in the Bangor area who are interested in becoming trained volunteers for its Look Good...Feel Better program. Hair stylists, wig experts, and estheticians are invited to a free training session on Saturday, March 3 from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Eastern Maine Medical Center on State Street in Bangor. Current volunteers who are due for recertification are encouraged to attend as well. A light lunch will be provided.

Look Good...Feel Better is a free, community-based, national service that helps women who are undergoing cancer treatment learn to cope with the appearance-related side effects of that treatment, and regain a sense of self-confidence and control over their lives. The program was founded and developed by the Cosmetology, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association Foundation, a charitable organization supported by the cosmetic industry, in cooperation with the American Cancer Society and the National Cosmetology Association.

Volunteers and program participants do not promote any cosmetic line or manufacturer. All of the cosmetics in the complimentary kit are donated or provided free of charge.

Certified volunteers can serve the Look Good...Feel Better program in several ways - in a group program at a local hospital or community center, in conjunction with other American Cancer Society patient programs such as I Can Cope and Reach to Recovery, or as a free one-time consultation.

Interested licensed cosmetologists may contact Debbie Seybold at the American Cancer Society at 373-3708 for more information or to register for this session.
