I'm
thinking that Alice was surely on to something here. Just as our
lovely young lady was considering the purpose of pictures in
a book, the Zeal for Teal Committee has been considering mightily
the purpose of our special day.
Raising awareness and raising funds for ovarian cancer are the goals.
Ovarian cancer remains one of the most serious of all
gynaecological cancers
and the powers that be are still searching for an early detection
test.
Meanwhile we will still keep doing our part to help raise
awareness
and funds to aid in the process. AND we will have fun
doing
it! What better way to keep our sisters informed than to gather together
in one accord in a room full of laughter and purpose?
We
have expanded a little beyond scrap-booking, should some other crafty soul
want to join us on the journey. We invite anyone who has even a hint
of craftiness - whether it be knitting, sewing, computer
graphics, painting, quilling, sketching, and more. Or even if
you want to bring an entire lifetime of photographs to sort, we would
welcome you to spend the day with us.
Did I mention our lovely and talented Miss Vicky is back?
Miss Vicky
will dazzle your day as she offers free mini manicures and a chance
to relax and breathe in the atmosphere in Wonderland.
So you think
you have superior architectural skills combined with
the
patience of a white rabbit? Then why not try them out as you challenge
a friend to build a house of cards.
And
if that isn't enough, perhaps you might like to etch the day in your
memory forever? Grab
a friend and get your photograph taken at the photo booth, complete
with an ever expanding tickle trunk and prop selection.
Surprisingly and for some - good news - we
have had a few spots come available down the rabbit hole.
If you know a peculiar mad-hatter type who would fit nicely at our table
and who would feel compelled
to partake in an incredibly crafty tea party, pass the word on.
Don't forget to bring along a donation for the Drayton
Food Bank this year. If you do so, an extra door prize ticket is
our way of saying 'thank you for your generosity!' Also, bring along
any extra pennies you might have stashed away. We are
collecting them for our Zeal for Teal
Penny Appeal.
One last thing for now...remember to
dress up for the occasion. An afternoon fashion show will delight the
crowd as we choose a winner to proudly represent Zeal for Teal
2013. We can't wait to see your creativity in action.
