Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 77 | I like Andrea's suggestion of making the pictures into iron on transfers. If the number seems managable and I can fit them all, that's what I'll do. However, if this gets huge and I get too many photos to fit the shirt, I'll go with one of the other ideas. At the very least, I am going to get all of your names on this shirt for everybody to see. Since the walk isn't until June, I have plenty of time to figure it out.
Again, thank you for all of your support. Because of you, I want to succeed in raising lots of money for OCF.
God Bless,
Amy

Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,219 | Just wanted to bring this great idea back to the top now that I'm home from the South Pacific. I found a few checks waiting for me when I stopped by my office last week.
There's still a month and a half to go, so please don't miss out on this opportunity to give back to this fantastic organization that does so much for all of us.
It was wonderful meeting Meredith (TIZZ) and her husband Bill in a town near Sydney. Meredith met us at the dock and we took a boat across Sydney Harbor. Marilyn, I and the friends we travel with had a terrific dinner and a very special evening.
I'm looking forward to meeting many other members at the walk next month.

Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | Hi Everyone, Well, as usual, I am not going to make the WALK again this year. We are on a plane to FL that morning to visit my 92 year old Mom. I will, however, send my donation to Jerry, which my company will match, to sponser everyone who shows up. Would love to meet you all, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards. Take care, Eileen

Sorry that you won't be able to make the walk this year, but we surely do appreciate your continued support. I hope you have a great visit with your mom and maybe things will work out next year.

The money is rolling in and I have sent out my personal letters to family, friends and colleagues earlier this week. To date I have over $500 and am expecting quite a bit more.
For those members that have sent me checks, you have heard from already, or will soon. Again, thanks to all who have sent checks so far and for your willingness to sponsor me and help OCF financially.
My address again to send checks made out to "The Oral Cancer Foundation" is:

Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 794 | C'mon, everybody! Send SOMETHNG to Jerry and/or to Amy, who is walking in Chicago for OCF. Send $1, $5, $10....or more....but don't you want to feel like a part of supporting OCF, which gives each of so much and serves as the primary source of information for so many? If we are ever to get out the word about oral cancer, OCF is going to play a major role. Jerry and Amy have promised to carry me and their other contributors in their hearts...or on a list in their pockets.....probably both, if I know them. Don't you want to be included?? Just send what you are comfortable with. It all comes back to OCF.
