Kyrsti, Kali and I visited Marvel College for a bit, met up with Carolyn (from Stollery), and watched Darcy (our enthusiastic leader) work his magic. The staff and students at Marvel were very excited and supportive about the pinking, and the participants (first timers) -realized that their pink heads were going to generate a LOT of curiosity out in Red Deer)... except for one boy....from the infamous Gibbons School. He moved to Red Deer last year, had participated twice before and was very happy to know the Massacure had followed him. Penhold school - 109 out of 130 PINK!! We met some of them today.
We met 17 pinkees from Costco - not including the meat dept who is scheduled to pink later in the week. Costco is backing our event 100% with employee support, ongoing video promotion (playing on a television at the front of the tills), and hosting the event itself on May 29 in the parking lot during their "Show 'N' Shine.
I'm not quite sure what the future holds for our little family run event. Just at the point when I get a twinge that we may have a life span, another new breath hits us.
I get a sense of the possibility that we may expand more, systems in place to ensure it's integrity, and above all - a clever way to ensure Tammy's sanity.
Who knows - all in God's plan.
