Is that really you, asks Judy Brashear, of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Elizabeth during a visit to the Wood Memorial Nursing home this past Saturday. Brashear is checking out the photograph Elizabeth had just autographed and given to her.

ABOVE: The house was packed Saturday morning at Wood Memorial Nursing Home when five Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders rolled up in a big custom Cowboys bus to spend some time visiting with residents, their families, and other visitors. Here Bill Van Horn chats with Cheerleader Elizabeth and thanks her for autograph- ing a photo for him. LEFT: Wood Memorial Nursing Home resident Sharon Lewis was doing a pretty good job of raising a cheer herself when Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Robin posed for a picture with her after Robin had autographed a cheerlead- ers team picture for her.

(Monitor photos by Tommy Anderson) James Ray chats with Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Holly while she autographs a Dallas Cowboys Cheer- leaders team photograph for him. A quintet of the famed cheer squad spent an hour Saturday Morning at Wood Memorial Nursing Home, visiting with patients and signing autographs.

ANNUAL MAMMOGRAPHY Advanced 3-Dimensional Digital Mammography One of the most effective tools in the early detection of breast cancer is three-dimensional digital mammography – the current gold standard for breast screening. 3-D digital mammography provides our doctors with a clearer image of breast tissue. It allows for the detection of more breast cancers, earlier, and with fewer false alarms – which decreases the number of times patients are called back for additional imaging. Women with dense breast tissue will especially DGPGƂVHTQO&OCOOQITCOU Privacy and peace of mind – in the same room. Call to schedule your mammogram.

Special Kids Day continues to delight

Over 200 special needs children were treated to all kinds of fun at the pavilion in downtown Golden Friday. Special Kids Day, under the umbrella of the Golden Sweet Potato Festival, began in 2000 with 20 children. It combines community donations and volunteer high school students and community members to host activities such as horseback rides, horse painting, wagon rides and so much more. The question remains to this day. Who actually enjoys the event the most?
