The Early Bird Saves the Boobies!

Hello guys! Kathy and I met this morning and well…we have a LOT planned for this year. Even though this is my first year being involved with the Komen Race for the Cure I’m dedicated to the cause! We haven’t even sent out our first welcome e-mail (look for it around June 20^th) but I wanted to share with you some of the exciting things we have in the works.

I will be making TWO quilts, one will be given away to a lucky winner here at ASL and the other will be auctioned off at either the Race Space (opens Oct 7^th) or at the Pasta Party (Oct 21^st). Billy-Joe (pictured) loves to help me sew! This year we are also considering some “classic” methods of fundraising: a bake sale and a garage sale! We don’t have details on either of these just yet.

Race Day is Oct 22^nd but it will be here before you know it! Online registration is now open so feel free to log on and join up (the deadline for registration is Aug 26^th). When you register online you can opt into many features such as the “Train for the Cure” and also buy your tickets for the Pasta Party!

I’m signing off for now…but never fear, I’ll be back soon!

Changes

Here in Little Rock, it is a hot & humid day.
However, down in Adelaide, Australia, where some friends live, it is a very cold and chilly winter day. A few months down the road, the seasons will have changed, and it will be cold here and hot "Down Under".
Changes,changes, nothing stays the same, does it? Even our little Komen Race For the Cure team changes each year.
In case you are wondering, yes-we do have new Co-Captains! I hope you will be as supportive for these captains as you have in the past--the State Library Bookends have always gone over the top with your generosity, your support, and your enthusiasm. This year the captains have lots of great things in store for us, so I hope you will take part again this year in the fight against breast cancer.
Let's make the change in this battle for victory over cancer so in the future people won't have to change their lives to include chemo or radiation.
Let's help change lives for the better!

Peace,
Judi
