Our group also designs a crazy quilt every year, which we donate to a breast cancer center.

This year’s deadline for ArtBra entries is June 5th. Bras should arrive at the Ribbon Smyth Studio no later than June 5th to be considered for inclusion in the 2011 ArtBra Calendar.

CALLING ALL DANCERS & DRUMMERS ! !
Coming up in just 2 weeks, on Sunday, May 2nd, is the annual Hike for Hospice, the major fundraiser for this worthy organization which provides loving support to persons diagnosed with terminal illness, their families & all those who care for them.
For the past several years the Ottawa community of dancers & drummers have come out in large numbers to sing, dance, drum & encourage the walkers returning to the Hospice grounds at the end of their 5 km hike along the canal. The purpose is to provide a colourful, noisy & congratulatory welcome back spectacle for the hundreds of walking, jogging, strolling, cycling adults, kids, babystrollers, decorated family dogs & even folks in wheelchairs. The warm thank-you’s & appreciative comments we have received for our efforts in the past would have been enough, but the Hospice also provides us with a sumptuous picnic lunch & live entertainment in their glorious garden beside the Rideau River after the Hike.
So, if you have participated in the past, or would like to lend your own dancing, zilling, drumming, clapping, cheering or zagareeting support with our group this year, please get in touch with me ASAP so I can reserve a lunch for you for Hike day. Husbands, kids, & interested bystanders welcome too.
There will be a place for you to change into a costume if you wish, or you can arrive already dressed. Plan to arrive between 9:00 & 10 a.m. & park on a nearby street. The walkers assemble behind the Hospice building for speeches & opening ceremonies prior to setting out on the Hike at 9:30.
For more information about Hike for Hospice, or about the Maycourt Hospice programs, please consult their website:

Call for A Way to Women’s Wellness 2011 ArtBra Submissions
As founder of A Way to Women’s Wellness, Inc., I began the non-profit foundation in 2003, when I began to invite friends to create embellished bras. The term ArtBra was born and we continue to create ArtBras for our annual WTWW ArtBra calendar and exhibitions. 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of the ArtBra calendars are donated to different breast cancer centers.
Our group also designs a crazy quilt every year, which we donate to a breast cancer center.
This year the WTWW ArtBra Exhibit will appear at the Houston Quilt Festival and at national conferences of the American Sewing Guild and Embroidery Guild of America.
This year’s deadline for ArtBra entries is June 5th. Bras should arrive at the Ribbon Smyth Studio no later than June 5th to be considered for inclusion in the 2011 ArtBra Calendar. Area photographers and quilt book editors will select the 2011 Calendar ArtBras. All bras submitted will appear at this year’s exhibitions. Complete submission guidelines may be downloaded at www.artbra.org
There is a gallery featuring the latest ArtBra arrivals.
