Dear Family and Friends,
I can’t help but think of how lucky I have been over the past year . The support of my family and friends has allowed LibLines to grow. I would like to share with you some of the wonderful things that have occurred during this past year.
LibLines has had such as successful October. Our events ranged from Bowling for Boobs to eating a lot of chocolate!
This year we also hosted our first walk on River Street. The walk drew a crowd of over 100 people to help raise awareness about breast cancer.
Following the walk, LibLines launched its newest campaign to educate people about this disease, called Walking in My Shoes. The shoes remained on display throughout the city for the entire month of October.
Our Bowling for Boobs event has grown! This year we had to use 26 lanes in Savannah. LibLines also hosted a Bowling for Boobs in Florida. This event raised $2,800. The money was given to Gerri's Corner.
The Chocoholic Frolic, a Comcast Cable event, was all about chocolate, from chocolate milk to chocolate mousse and everything in between. Over 1000 people enjoyed samples from area restaurants, bakeries and chefs. All ticket proceeds from this event benefited LibLines. This years event has raised an estimated $45,000.
In July of 2004, LibLines launched its Expressive Arts support group. Our group meets on a quarterly basis. We use different forms of art as a way of expression. To date, we have made bracelets and painted pottery, and knitted scarves to name a few.
As you can see, I live in a wonderful community. I am so fortunate to have the support of family, friends and businesses here in Savannah. All of their support is helping to make a difference.
Thank you.
