This is one note I'll gladly pass on. The notion that we could
raise $16 million by buying a book of stamps is powerful! As
you may be aware, the U.S. 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 disease that kills
and maims so many of our mothers,sisters, friends. Instead of
the normal $.33 for a stamp, this one costs $.40. The additional $.07
will go to breast cancer research. A "normal" book costs $6.60. 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 $16,000,000
forthis vital research! Just as important as the money is our
support.What a statement it would make if the stamp outsold the lottery
this week. What a statement it would make that we care. I urge each of
you to do two things TODAY:
1. Go out and purchase some of
these stamps.
2. E-mail your friends to do
he same.
Many of us 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. Please help!
