I feel like a kid on Christmas day - but, this is WAY better than Santa Claus.
Tonight - just a few short hours from now - is our "Share the Journey" Kick-off for Sister Survivors. We set up last night, and today is going to be a busy, trying-to-get-last-minute-things-done kind of day.
With that said, I'd better get moving! See you tonight!
(See Tuesday's post for the time/address/etc.)

TUESDAY TIDINGS - Sister Survivors Kick Off!
THIS WEEK IS THE WEEK!!! Our Sister Survivors Kick Off is on Thursday, October 28, at 7:00 pm.
Show up right at 7:00, because we'll be holding a silent auction for 1/2 hour before the program starts. There's LOTS of great auction items, so don't forget your wallet! ;-) There are several things I'm so excited to bid on. I just hope I get one of them! I think the thing I want the most is the beautiful beaded watch. Or, the designer fabric apron. Or, maybe, the ridiculously CUTE 3 foot snowman! I can't decide!
At 7:30, we'll start the program, which will include a beautiful song written by Bethanie Newby - one of our Sister Survivors, and the keynote speaker (it's a surprise). We'll also have a slideshow, with pictures of our Sister Survivors, and the doctors and nurses who helped them. (I'm just SO excited for you to see pictures of me bald! Yeah.)
Then, after the program, there will be 15 more minutes to check your bids, and/or bid some more. And then, the auction will be over!
Add some super YUMMY desserts, a 300 piece art gallery, a witch's cottage, a castle, and a german village - oh, and some elephants, giraffes, and a gorilla - and it's going to be a FUN night!
Bring your family and friends (12 years and older), and join us. If you haven't RSVP'd yet, please email sistersurvivors@gmail.com, or call Dr. Bishop's office at (801) 802-0120, and let us know how many you are coming with.
The address is: 110 South Main, Lindon UT - It's just off of State Street - near Wallaby's Smokehouse and the China Lilly restaurant.
See you there!!!!

TUESDAY TIDINGS - Monthly Sister Survivors' Meeting on Thursday night...
All Sister Survivors: We will be holding our monthly meeting this Thursday night at 7:00 pm at the law offices. (look at the left sidebar for the address). We will be getting ready for our Kick-Off, which will be held on the 28th. We could really use some help from all of you. Also, those who aren't working on stuff for the Kick-Off will have a chance to help make some "chemo blankets" for the Sister Survivors who are currently having chemo (like this one that my mom made for me!)...
If you are donating anything for the silent auction, please bring it with you that night.
Come spend some time with us - can't wait to see you!

TUESDAY TIDINGS - Ad for Sister Survivors
Just for your information...
If you haven't seen Sister Survivor's new ad in Utah Valley Magazine, go and pick up a copy - the ad is on page 13. It's beautiful!
Here are some quotes that were used on the ad from two of our Sister Survivor members...
"I am a part of a group of brave, strong and full-of-life women. We have one thing is common: we are breast cancer survivors. When diagnosed I had many questions doctors could not answer because they had not experienced it themselves. I wish I would have had someone to turn to who had experienced the same thing. This group would have been my answer a year ago." --Kim Taylor, cancer survivor
"I was treated for stage 4 invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer at age 35. During treatment I often felt like I had no one to talk to. It seemed that no one else felt like I did, especially when my hair fell out and I needed to buy a wig, or I couldn't get out of bed for days, or worse, wondered if I would die. I wish I would have had somewhere to get the answers I needed. Attending Sister Survivors has helped me. I will show others by example that there is hope and life after cancer." --Cressent Page, cancer survivor
