All proceeds of the fair will go to Ovarian Cancer. If you or someone you know would like a spot at the event please let us know! Table space is $30 and you will be provided with a table and chair(s). You can sell a craft that you might do on the side or sell a baked good. A form must be filled out and sent back to me to reserve your table. Brainstorm and think of some ideas to bring sales and interest to your table.

There will be a table with information etc... provided by the Ovarian Cancer Alliance, this table will also be selling the T shirts and bracelets and I am working on purchasing pins like the one I have that so many of you are interested in.

At the end of the event total sales will be reported and 50% will go to the fundraiser the remaining 50% is yours to do with as you please. You may choose to donate as much of your sales as you wish.

We also need to get the word out about the event, handing out flyers to local business', family and friends. If you are able to post flyers please let me know and I will get some to you ASAP.

Walk for Hospice

My father is doing the South Shore Walk for Hospice Saturday the 13th of March in Marilyn's name.

What is Hospice Care?

The goal of hospice is to enable patients to continue an alert, pain-free life and to manage other symptoms so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice affirms life and does not hasten or postpone death. Hospice care treats the person rather than the disease; it focuses on quality rather than length of life. Hospice care is family-centered care -- it involves the patient and the family in making decisions. Care is provided for the patient and family 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hospice care can be given in the patient's home, a hospital, nursing home, or private hospice facility. Most hospice care in the United States is given in the home, with a family member or members serving as the main hands-on caregiver.

Hospice care is meant for the time when cancer treatment can no longer help you, and you are expected to live 6 months or less. Hospice gives you palliative care, which is treatment to help relieve disease-related symptoms, but not cure the disease; its main purpose is to improve your quality of life. You, your family, and your doctor decide together when hospice care should begin.

In Loving Memory

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Rest in Peace
