And We're Off!

The excitement mounts as the team rallies.


Are you ready for an amazing day of scrapbooking, cardmaking, merry making and more? And all for a good cause!


Registrations are coming in fast and furious, so don't delay get yours in today (yes, a lame attempt at accidental poetry, that was!)


The early bird registration expires June 1st, which entitles those eager scrappers to receive two extra door prize tickets. We have so many lovely prizes coming in from generous donors, you will be impressed.


Remember this year we have a Vendor's Alley including Epicure, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Mia Bella's Candles, Canadian Writers Book store, Close to My Heart, Stampin' Up, Steeped Tea, In A Scrap Creations, Club 177 purses and jewelry and there will be an extensive display for Ovarian Cancer Canada and the Winner's Walk of Hope.


Our trusty and talented photographer, Anja Noordam, will return to capture some of our precious Zeal for Teal moments, so we are thrilled about that. Check out one of Anja's photos from last year (below!)


The theme for this year's Zeal for Teal is 'A Day at the Beach.' Dig out those flip flops and sundresses and get comfy. We anticipate a wonderful, relaxing day.


We also have our very own esthetician, Janet Wilson returning to offer free mini manicures throughout the day, along with an onsite personal trainer who will keep us on our toes with the occasional fit break. Who knows, maybe we'll even find a pool to paddle in! We have it all. You don't want to miss it.


And the best part, is that your participation in this special day will help women everywhere. After expenses all profits go to the Ovarian Cancer Canada Winner's Walk of Hope to be held September 12th in Barrie. The Sunflower Seeds team is revving up and looking forward to doing their part to help women get diagnosed earlier and to help conquer and one day eradicate this disease often dubbed the silent killer, ovarian cancer. There is a 90% survival rate for women with ovarian cancer who are caught in the early stages. The statistics are a little more grim for those who have late stage ovarian cancer.


So come on out and know that not only are you going to experience a fantastic day away from routine, but you are doing YOUR part to help women everywhere! Use the registration link on the side to register for Zeal for Teal or contact Amanda or Glynis at gbelec@everus.ca
