Show and Tell - Just The Right Message

Last month, when the Share Southern Vermont board of directors met we voted to order 500 silicone bracelets to sell as part of our upcoming fundraiser.

We knew we wanted to blend the pink and blue colors to represent our angel babies.

We knew we wanted Share's logo on the band.

We could not decided on what to imprint, what small selection of words could best describe our collective emotions as we remember our babies, forever.

We tossed around a number of possibilites:

Well Loved ~ Always Remembered

Share ~ Remember Our Babies

Well Loved ~ Remembered Always

Share ~ Remembering Our Babies

Share ~ Touching Lives, Healing Hearts, Giving Hope

In the end - we went simple: SHARE (logo) Forever In Our Hearts

We were so excited to have something tangible, yet discreet, to keep with us daily as we remember our babies.

They arrived today - all five hundred!!

And they look amazing! My camera can't do them justice - but let's just say as a consumer and a business owner I've never been more please with a product ordered all but sight unseen.

That is, of course, except for the one I found that reads COLBERT CO. HS BAND -- PRIDE OF THE TRIBE and the other boasting, EL DORADO CRIME STOPPERS 863-INFO.

So, perhaps 498 have made it here, and if you play for the Colbert high school band or are fighting crime in El Dorado, then make sure you read your band as you receive it. You may be raising awareness for a cause you didn't even know about!

Buuuuut, if you are a grieving parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend or supporter and would like to get one of these awareness bands around your wrist, check back on October 1st when they go on sale and the fundraiser kicks off!!

They will be available at the National Wave of Light event. They will also be available on line with payment through paypal and shipping will be minimal.

What are you showing and telling?
