o How do you detect cancer? Asked Mukyala Victoria
o Is there any remedy for cancer?
o Where can one seek help in case they have cancer?
· Anita encouraged members to visit the cancer patients especially in mulago Hospital so as to get a feel of gravity of the need for every one of us to join the cancer fight. All these questions were addressed by Ms. Anita Sseruwagi and Madam Judith Babirye at the end of the day everyone was stirred to join the fight.
· Also in the meeting there was a big challenge of the office because although we are on active force now many artists were uncomfortable with the office location due to the city parking and congestion, However by the end of the day, we resolved that those who would dare coming to the office are very welcome, but we have also realized that there was no one to help them once Mrs. Anita Sseruwagi and Ms. Judith Babirye are in the field.
· Mrs. Anita kutta together with Ms. Judith Babirye urged some members who had some secretarial and computer knowledge to volunteer.
o Ms. Victoria Mukyala and Ms. Evelyn Muzira to offer free services so that in case any member went to the office they would at least find someone for assistance,

o Ms. Mukyala Victoria Volunteered to handle all the necessary Secretarial work.

o Mr. Dangelo Busulwa urged members to get one day and they all go to visit the cancer patients in Mulago as a driving force to put into practice the strong urge to fight cancer
ARTIST CO-ORDINATOR
