ACS Fundraising Page Having cancer is hard. Finding help shouldn't be. No matter what you need, the American Cancer Society can help. http://www.cancer.org 1-800-ACS-2345 25 hours a day, 8 days a week Cancer is an awful thing, and I would love to be able to help in some way in helping find the cure. The only way I can do that is by raising money for the cause, and I have chosen to do that through the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. As they say “There is No Finish Line… Until We Find A Cure!” so we will keep on raising money until that happens. If you would like to donate, please click the donate button below. Donate here, every dollar brings us closer to the cure! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Mysteries For Relay                 As a fun "adventure" in fundraising I have am offering on-line quilt mysteries as a way of thanking quilters for donations. I have started a Yahoo Group, Mysteries For Relay, in which I will offer classes and mysteries in exchange for contributions to my ACS web site. You will have to pay a $5 fee per class, or make an annual contribution of at least $30, to ACS through me to participate in any class. If you would like to join, please visit Mysteries For Relay to sign up.

I think all quilters are, LOL! This pin was designed for my Fabricaholics Anonymous Group but I've decided to share them with anyone who is willing to admit they are a Fabricaholic. They are top quality gold plated, enameled Cloisonné pins, with a standard lapel post and military clutch back and measure 1 1/4 by 5/8 inches. Pins are $8.55 each which includes postage in the US. (Send me an email if you are out of country for additional postage cost) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Here is one ongoing fund raiser we have, and if you haven't tried this candy, you must!
