Elmhurst Relay for Life 2010
The Elmhurst Relay for Life has come and gone and it was a successful one for our Hearts with Hope Team. I raised over $2,000 and our team raised over $4,300. The day of the Relay we sold Blue Jane's bags and raised $127. Thanks to all my great team members: Rosie, Shauna, Soon Har, Anjanette, April, Carol, Barb, and Jan. They were great team members and we all had a wonderful time at the Relay.

Collection for Haiti Bags
I am in the process of collection fun hair items to put in quart sized ziploc bags. These bags will go in the Blue Jane's bags that will go to the orphanage in Haiti at the end of the month. If anyone would like to donate items, let me know.

Blue Jane's Trend
I was at the nursing home this afternoon doing my usual volunteering to read and play cards on the Alzheimer Unit. A nurse from Hospice noticed my Blue Jane's bag and asked where I got it. She mentioned that she has seen the bags displayed for sale at Curves recently. I told her those were my bags that my friend, Carol, a Hearts with Hope relay team mate had placed there. She said to me, "I thought you looked familiar." Maybe I am getting famous in Elmhurst. I want to know - is this how Vera Bradley started out?
