Keeping Abreast - Issue 2 (September 2009)
Hi
What an amazing couple of months we have
had!!
To be honest I am being constantly humbled and overwhelmed by
the
support and encouragement that we are receiving.
We had a wonderful Direct Selling Fundraising
Expo in Tasmania in
July that raised over $2000.Huge thanks to Celine of the
Direct Selling
Women's Alliance and of course all of the consultants who
supported the
event. We are holding 2 more of these events - Melbourne
on October 4
and Queensland October 18. The Queensland location is
still being
finalised,but details of the Melbourne are on our events page. If
you are
in Melbourne please come along for an afternoon of fun & shopping.
We have some new sponsors & supporters and
we would love you to
support them, so that they keep supporting us:
Exotix Fashion Accessories
Kim Kirkby - Independent Arbonne Consultant
Linda McMullen - Independent Nutrimetics Consultant
We are hugely excited to announce the sponsorship
of
breastANGELS by Exotix Fashion Accessories.
Exotix are going to donate
a % of the sales of a particular piece to
breastANGELS along with featuring
us in their next catalogue -
launching October 1. We are very
appreciative of their support and
exposure that this
will provide to breastANGELS.
Particular thanks must go to Fiona Strintzos
for confirming, and
Dhea Bartlett for
initiating and co-ordinating the sponsorship.
If you would like to book an Exotix party - please contact
Dhea directly.

Have you worked out what you want to do to
participate in Halo Day?
October 23 is going to be our first annual Halo Day
when we are asking
people to have a bit of fun in their workplace and
raise some money
for breastANGELS.
Are you a
pink
or black halo person? What colour is your boss?
On that evening, we are holding the first annual
breastANGELS gala dinner
- themed Glitz n Glam. We are holding it at Noosa
Waterfront Restaurant
and tickets will shortly be available through our
website. It promises to be
a night filled with fun
and laughter with a VERY special guest attending.
We will also be holding a
silent auction, so if you feel moved to donate,
please email us at Support@breastANGELS.org
We girls love to shop, so we are planning to get
our Christmas shopping
all over and done with in 1 day. Saturday November 21,
we are holding
a shopping spree tour for the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane
areas.
Stay tuned for full details.
And of course, sprinkled in amongst all of this
are various speaking
engagements by yours truly - getting out there and
letting people know that
we exist. I am also starting to meet with
various breast cancer support
and research organisations so that we can
ensure that we are all working
collaboratively and that the women who need
our support know that we exist.
We are hoping to be able to fund our first
lot of surgeries early to middle
next year,obviously depending on fundraising activities.
We are also starting to look at how we can
support women who are
at high risk to develop breast cancer. To this end, if
you have any ideas
or
suggestions of what we can do to assist, please let us
know by emailing
Support@breastANGELS.org
We
want it to be a national, co-ordinated approach.
Did you know that you can sell our merchandise
on consignment?
Did you know that you can hold you own breastANGELS
fundraising event?
No? Well, you can.

Somehow, and I am still trying to find out how it
happened, yours truly is
turning 40 on September 7. To celebrate, we
are offering 40% OFF the price
of Accepting
With Grace for 1 week only
That makes it only AU $15 plus P&H,
for the print, autographed of course,
and only AU $11 for the eBook.
All of the funds from the sales go directly to
breastANGELS.
Do you think we can sell
100 of them in a week at this price? I think we can!!
There are some other great things to be
announced in the next couple of weeks,
but I think this is enough for now.
I know I keep saying it, but I keep feeling and
need to express it .....
Huge Thank Yous to everyone for your support.
It truly does mean so
much that you are embracing my dream and helping to
make this support a reality.
Some of the stories I hear are just
absolutely heart breaking and I just want
to make a difference and
help as many women as we can. And wonderfully,
we have a board who
think the same way. We can't do it on our own,
so having you all part
of this is very special. We are not even 6 months old yet
and the momentum is
certainly building.
So, sincerely Thank You.
Angel Blessings, Sharon
