Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 This is one note I'll gladly pass on. The notion that we could raise $16 million by buying a book of stamps is powerfull. As you may be aware, the US Postal Service recently released its new " Fund the Cure " stamp to help fund breast cancer research. The stamp was designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, land. It is important that we take a stand against this disease that kills and maims so many of our mothers, sisters and friends. Instead of the normal $.33 for a stamp, this one costs $.40. The additional $.07 will go to breast cancer research. A " normal " book costs $6.60. This one is only $8.00. It takes a few minutes in line at the Post Office and means so much. If all stamps are sold it will raise an additional $16,000,000 for this vital research. Just as important as the money, is our support. What a statement it would make if the stamp out sold the lottery this week. What a statement it would make that we care. I urge you to do two things TODAY: 1. Go out and purchase some of these stamps. 2. E-mail your friends to do the same. Many of us know women and their families whose lives are turned upside-down by breast cancer. It takes so little to do so much in this drive. Please help! Thank YOU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
