Cure for Breast Cancer

 

Hello, All: You are the folks I care most about and think you want to know about the new stamp. Usually I bcc, but I think it's ok to not do that on this one. If you are perturbed to be on the list, just call me up and give me a piece of your mind, eh? :0) guess i can manage a few more bobs and weaves. hahahha. cs

 

Dearest Gwen,

 

It was good to see all at JJ and Charlene's beautiful re-nuptials.

It is also so strange and funny to me how we seem to be on the same track with many things.

 

Last night before giving up to sleep, I visited the USPS for more stats on the stamp version sent to me by a friend. Turns out that the Breast Cancer stamp was the first of only three issued so far by the USPS called 'semipostal' fundraising stamps.

Click the 'semipostal' link to compare the two stamps.  You will see that the new stamp is much more ethnocentric than the 1998 version still on the USPS site. Hopefully, they will update soon with a proper link so we can have a peek at this new version from the USPS site, too. A lot of money has already been raised and this new stamp will up the ante.

NEW STAMP

Breast Cancer Stamp - It's gorgeous! And read the text below the stamp, it's worth doing. Pass it on!

 

ALRIGHT EVERYONE, lets do this!!!!!! We need those of you who are great at forwarding information to your e-mail network. Please read and pass this on. It would be wonderful if 2005 were the year a cure for breast cancer were found!!!!

 

This is one e-mail you'll gladly passalong. The notion that we could raise $35 million by buying a book of stamps is powerful!

 

As you may be aware, the US Postal Service recently released its new "Fund the Cure" stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, Maryland. It is important that we take a stand against this terrible disease affecting so many of our mothers, sisters and friends.

 

Instead of the routine 37 cents for a stamp, this one cost 40 cents. The additional 3 cents will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs $7.40. This one is only $8.00. It takes a few minutes in line at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold, it will raise an additional $35,000,000 for this vital research!

 

Just as important as the money is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp out-sold the lottery this week.  What a statement it would make that we care.  

 

I would urge you to do two things TODAY

 

1.   Go out and purchase some of these stamps.

2.   E-mail your friends to do the same. We all know women and their families whose lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer. It takes so little to do so much in this drive. I think we can all afford the additional 60 cents the new book costs. Please help & pass this on!!!

One more thing...

 

FYI

Another dis-ease is high up on the ethnocentric list, running along with diabetes and lupus. According to allopaths, the debilitating polymyalgia rheumatica has no known cause or cure...

 

However, some natural remedies (including prayer, exercise and common sense) will help with that and some other disturbances in the way such as pains, sleep deprivation, irritability and anxiety.

 

 

Hoping your day is wonderful. lol.
