A Window for Awareness

Another confession – yes, I am an avid scrapbooker. If someone had told me 10 years ago that I’d be saving memorabilia, cropping, paper shopping, and PhotoShopping for fun, I’d have found myself rolling on the floor laughing. That’s ROFL to the instant messagers out there 

So I was thrilled to hear that the scrapping contingent of our club has been working to put on a scrapbooking event. They’ve found a location where we can bring in food, they’ve set a date (January 29, 2011), they’ve even arranged for a PhotoShop class.

So when I asked Pat if they’d decided on a theme for the event, she told me, “Crop ‘til it Stops” and that it would be a fundraiser and awareness raiser for Domestic Violence Prevention.

A scrapbooking event focused on domestic violence prevention? What a great way to increase awareness while raising funds to support the ideas our service committee is working on. What a great way to kick off our service project for domestic violence prevention as well as to partner with organizations that focus on this mission.

Thank you Pat, Rita, and Barbara – for the idea, for the event, and for your initiative in seeing it through. I am thoroughly excited about the possibilities.
