A Sale With A Difference!
Bernadette Huysing, who owns The Needlework Boutique in Melbourne, Australia asked me to post the following, and I am happy to do so:
Each May, The Cancer Council of Australia runs its “Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea” as a fundraiser for it’s various programs, including Cancer Research. Businesses and the public alike are encouraged to hold events to raise money. As The Needlework Boutique is an online store, I have often wondered how I can support such worthy causes. The other night, a solution came to me. On Sunday, 18th May 2008, The Needlework Boutique is hosting a sale with a difference. Instead of having a % off all products, 10% from all sales completed between 12:01am and 11:59pm (Australian Eastern Time) will be donated to The Cancer Council via the Biggest Morning Tea.
In Memory of Felix.
2005 – 2008

Read more about Bernadette’s decision to do this — and find out who Felix is — on her blog.
This is Bernadette Huysing’s Biggest Morning Tea registration page where you can keep an eye on her goal to raise $1,000 for the Cancer Council of Australia — or you can donate directly from here if you don’t need any stash right now (but that won’t be any of us stitchers, right? 
).
Now, check the World Clock to verify it’s still Sunday, May 18th, in Melbourne … and then please go pick out some stash … You just might be the person whose dollar cures cancer!
Okay … you’ll have to excuse me, but I have some shopping to do!
