It was "This is your life, Darlene Jett Green" last Friday night at Macedonia Baptist Church. Friends, admirers and co-workers staged a surprise awards ceremony in recognition of Darlene’s contributions to the continuing series of educational programs on cancer aimed at the county's black community.
“Nationally, one out of three persons stricken by cancer suvives. I’m sure it is one out of two in Rappahannock County because of your work in promoting education,” Marsha Nenno, director of public education for the America^ Cancer Society’s state headquarters in Richmond, told Darlene.
Nenno presented the guest of honor with a letter of commendation for her distinguished service in delivering a series on early detection of cancer. She acknowledged the generous amount of time Darlene contributed in preparing programs that were factual, informal and easily understood. “There’s a great deal of concern across the state on cancer in black Americans,” Nenno said, noting that a special committee has been formed to address the problems of lack of cancer education among blacks in Virginia. "Rappahannock County is one step ahead of the state largely due to your efforts,” she added to Darlene.
