Stamping Around the Villages

Our next meeting at Seabreeze is Tuesday April 10 at 6:30.

Janet Fowler has something for us that is a bit different than what we are use to.

Did you know that  that every month of the year approximately 21 thousand women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and the average age at the time of this diagnosis is 62? We all know at least one friend, family member , or maybe even us, affected by this disease.  Lets use our talents and abilities to brighten the day of a woman going through this crisis.Our 4/10 meeting will focus on  helping the efforts of GirlsLoveMail!! This is a charity that collects letters and cards of encouragement for women newly diagnosed and distributes them to clinics, cancer centers ad hospitals all over the country. They have an informative website and I would encourage you to check them out. its http://WWW.GirlsLoveMail.com.  

 THINGS TO BRING

several pieces of card stock to use for your cards  that will fit into a 4.75 by 6.5 envelope. You don't need to bring any envelopes as they are mailed in bulk. 

stamps of your choice

ink pads

colored pencils, markers, etc.

The organization mails the cards and letters in bulk and as a result, weight matters, So we need to keep our cards a bit more one dimensional and lighter in weight.

They also ask that we write at least 4 lines of hand written text. though we can still use stamps with encouraging words, our cards need to be more personal. There are examples of things to say in case you are a little stumped on the website.

At the end of our meeting I will take our cards and mail them to the headquarters in California where they will then be distributed. around  the country. I hope even though this meeting is a bit different than our usual lighthearted get together, that we all can make an effort to attend so we can be a blessing to these ladies and have fun doing it!!
