Let's spread the word about the Avengers project! *you can help, yes YOU!*

[pamelamama]

I've gone ahead and put together this little note. It was easier to just write it than to explain what I wanted someone else to write!

Can everyone take a minute to send this email off to whatever crafty yahoo groups or e-lists you are involved with? Let's see how many crafters we can get onboard! Help spread the word. If you send something out to a group, please list it in this thread, so we dont duplicate!

Dear Crafty Types,

We're calling out to crafters across the World Wide Web to join our fight against Breast Cancer. Be a Fiber Arts Avenger!

Option 1: You can knit, crochet, sew or in some other way craft an item to be used in our drawing. Contact julia@fiberartsavengers.com or danica@fiberartsavengers.com with questions or to donate.

Option 2: You can auction off something you've made, with funds to be donated to our cause. Contact kim@fiberartsavengers.com or patti@fiberartsavengers.com to get all the details.

Option 3: You can knit something for a Breast Cancer Patient as part of our auctions. Individuals will be able to make a donation and 'buy' your hat, socks, etc, for a patient. Contact kim@fiberartsavengers.com or patti@fiberartsavengers.com to get all the details. We're putting up links to free patterns on our site that can be used for this purpose!

We're raising money via the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day . Cause info can be found on our website: http://www.fiberartsavengers.com. Our walker is Jesse, and she's training hard for the event. http://fiberartistavenger.blogspot.com

You can join our yahoo group for updates on the project:

Thank you very much!

PS I changed up the wording a little, Pam. Hope you don't mind :superb

[indiegirl]

I figure I just told close to 300 people about us. It took five minutes.

Wow. How easy and effortless.

[pamelamama]

Jesse, did we have permission to post in activism? CM said we could have the link in three people's siggys. Me, you and who else posts on MDC a lot???

[indiegirl]

I'll recheck the thread, but I remember her saying that activism was the place to post it and that we could post it.

I'll check again.
