Underwire, soft cup,
minimizer, Wonderbra, Playtex, Victoria’s Secret and on and on and
on!!! As women, we face the dilemma every day of what style to wear,
what size, what color or what brand. As we are all too aware of, there
are many of our fellow members who may not have any of these choices to
make. We have all been affected by breast cancer.
To keep breast cancer
awareness in the forefront, we have decided to present a project that we
feel will do just that. It is called……….
The
Artful
Bra
At Spring Convention in
April, 2010 all members may enter a
bra. It must
be size 36C, and must be decorated outside as well as inside including
the straps. This is not to be entered in your club or district arts and
crafts competition. Bring your bra to be registered and judged to the
designated location. After they have been judged, you may pick them up
or allow us to keep them for the traveling exhibit. All
the bras will be sewn onto padded hangers, which we will supply if they
are going “on tour”. Needless to say, we hope you will allow us to keep
them.

Signature Blocks
for Breast Cancer Remembrance
Quilt Blocks for
dedication and remembrance will be available at the Artful Bra Exhibit
GFWC/Florida Federation of Women’s Club Convention on, April 9-12, 2010.
The personalized quilt
blocks are for the purpose of recognizing those loved ones which have
had, have cancer, or passed away with Breast Cancer. The purpose of this
project is to bring awareness to the forefront of Breast Cancer and to
honor a family member or friend. A ten dollar donation is required for
each block.
The Blocks will be made
into Two Wall Hangings by the generosity of Clermont Woman’s Club
quilters, District 7.
At the conclusion of the
Artful Bra Project/Breast Cancer Awareness Project, in 2012, the
proceeds collected from all the fundraisers of these two projects will
be presented to Breast Cancer Research.....
Please participate in
this worthy cause. Come to the Artful Bra Exhibit at Convention and sign
your block to honor that special someone in your life.
We thank you, in
advance, for your participation.

Early Learning initiatives are critical for our
future. 85% of the hard-wiring in the brain happens by the age of
three. Ensuring our state’s children are ready to learn and be
successful in school sets our state up for success.

Dining at one of these restaurants and donating $1.00 for tap water you

lifesaving water to kids around the world. Sign up as a volunteer now
and encourage restaurants to sign up to participate at
www.tapproject.org,
