Photos

Here is the photo gallery. I wish we had taken more pics, but the night flew by. It was incredible and wonderful. Tom videotaped the whole thing, so soon I'll have a link to You Tube, so you can watch snippets. In the meantime, here are the photos. Unfortunately, I didn't get a pic of Rob Peck, one of our speakers. Nor did I get pics of Pam Roberts or Chris Carpenter, or some of the performers. But, if you scroll down the page, or look at older posts, you can see their pics and read all about them. Here we go....

Cookies!

The marvelous and scrumptous Second Street Baking Company donated 50 pink ribbon cookies that we sold for 2 bucks a pop. Wow, were they deliciously sweet. Thanks Christa!

Free Bag or Bracelet

Everyone got a free pink ribbon tote bag, or they chose a free pink plastic Red Sox bracelet, when they entered the Voo.

Literature

I collected a mass of breast cancer and breast health literature, made available for folks to take home. I still have a ton, so if you need anything let me know.

Silent Auction Items

Here is a sampling of the silent auction items. There were also about 12 gift certificates up for auction.

Your Keeping Abreast Experience

If you would like to post a comment about your Keeping Abreast experience, I would love to hear from you and will copy and paste your comment into a post, so it will be visible all the time (without having to click on the "comment" button). I can't seem to find an actual "Guestbook" widget for the blog, so that's how I can do it for now.

Those I have spoken with have shared such touching feedback. If you would like to share your thoughts, feelings, inspriations, or dreams, please do. Thanks. I'll be posting pictures soon, and snippets of the video.

Blessings,
Sue

Thank you, thank you, thank you

This will be a brief hello and thanks to everyone who attended last night's event at The Rendezvous, and to all the beautiful performers and speakers. I especially want to thank Jamie Berger and the staff at The Voo for their generosity and presence in our community. You all are superb. My heart is overflowing with the love and support I felt last night. I'm pretty pooped today, so I will write more tomorrow. I just wanted to be sure and thank all of you for everything. I feel so blessed. In terms of financial success, we raised about $1,500, and donations keep arriving. Just this morning I received $100 from one of my neighbors. I don't quite know what to say other than thank you. For me, last night was a magical event and I'm so happy that everyone had such a great time. That was the whole point. And if it inspired you or motivated you or empowered you, that would be a wish come true for me. It is my life calling to use my challenges to make the world a better place. Your presence last night is a part of making that happen. May the ripples be continuous and far reaching.

Blessings to you all,
Sue
