FUNDRAISING CONTINUES FOR BREAST CANCER SUFFERER

Breast cancer sufferer, Carolyn Skinner, from Christchurch has raised enough funds for the treatment drug Herception till March this year. Her wonderful friends have been rallying for her to have the extended 12 month treatment but until the government approves this, Carolyn is only entitled to a 9 week government funded course. The rest of the course has to be has to self-funded. Her fundraising efforts has allowed her to continue with the treatment which is great news. But this will only last her till March and more funds are needed. We should all join hands and fight for all women to have better access to any drug that will give them a fighting chance.
Please refer to our previous posts (Archives on left hand side, August folder) about Carolyn Skinner and the fundraising efforts. Anybody wishing to donate to the Herceptin Fund for Carolyn Skinner can do so by contacting her friend, Val on 03 3477 397 or Jane of BCAC on 09 428 3385.  We can all give up one flat white or glass of wine to help Carolyn.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone around the world! 2008 has just started and already we are very busy shipping out dolls and working on some new designs. In the next few months we’ll be posting information about our new dolls and other projects in the pipeline.
 After a well deserved rest over the festive season, we are all back at work and ready to tackle the challenges that 2008 offer us. Some of us went away to visit family, some of us went camping and some of us stayed in Dunedin enjoying the time with family. We closed for the festive holidays with a great staff lunch at the studio and continued with an evening BBQ at Jan & Graeme’s beach house. We all sat on the deck sipping champagne as we watched the sun go down and the boats sail away. A wonderful way to wind down a very busy 2007!
Our collector’s club newsletter went out before Christmas and we have had amazing response for some of our new dolls and our Boho Chics. We’ve also had new members join our circle of collector friends and old ones renew. So if you are not a member yet, here’s your chance to join and be able to purchase some of our new dolls and also the special edition doll available exclusively first to collectors. Click on www.jancmleandolls.com and onto the ‘club’ page to join.
 All the best for the New Year.
 Thought for today - I have success with everything I touch and do!
