Well done girls on your stint into the world of theatre.
Isn't it amazing how this Pink Lady of ours brings people together - and sometimes from the most unlikley places too.
My little vague idea of turning Wentworth pink is now a mega production, with a cast as bit as Ben Hur!!! Everyone is getting involved and there are so many ideas spinning around in my brain that my head hurts ( only joking)
Looks like our local Bendigo Bank is coming on board and i was invited to write to our local IGA (same man has 12 shops) to see if BCNA can have a Community Chest day. CWA ladies are helping with decorations and one of the husbands is going to make me a large pink lady to put on the front of the Paddle Steamer RUBY. The local baker overheard me telling one of his staff about our Girls-Night-In and he offered to supply finger food.
The girls from the local paper were out yesterday for story and photos. They were asking me lots of questions (not for the story) but personal ones about discovery, loss of breast etc etc. We were on our own down by the river so I lifted my shirt and showed them the scar (yes I know, I'm just an exhibitionist !!). It was emotional for one of them - it appears someone close to her discovered lumps but it was through her system and she lost the battle.
If we can all do a little bit then the word will spread.
Cheers .... Shirl
