===> CHECK THIS OUT!! MY AUNT founded and then developed the Children's Hospital balloon project while working in Connecticut-- she had to give a presentation to heads of Children's Hospitals from all over in Salt Lake City, Utah (home of the The Children's Miracle Network) and it was a very big deal! From its beginnings she had to go door-to-door to encourage businesses to display her paper yellow and red balloons to raise funds for children in Children's Hospitals. The idea spread like wildfire--it is still going strong today and you have most likely seen the logo ABOVE with peoples' names on them showing they have contributed to the project. Next time you are in a toy store or gift shop or drug store or airport shop, stop and think to give and help out this worthwhile cause. My Aunt Eleanor has definitely helped make a difference!!--Please do what you can--contact with MY AUNT, "the Balloon Lady" may be obtained by clicking on her business card, above.. Mention you saw this at Diane's site so she knows if it is helping get the word out or not..THANKS! |
