Need a name for this year's Komen Luncheon
This year my county's hospital and support group is in charge of the Komen for the Cure luncheon in our region (NC Foothills) in September and we are having problems coming up with a name for this year's event. We like to have fun things with the luncheon and not just boring people talking about newest treatments for BC. Three years ago we had belly dancers perform and give basic belly dancing lessons.
We are planning our own version of the 'Artfull bra project' using bras created by our support group (Arm-n-Arm) as well as some board of directors and volunteers for the local 'wig bank'. We are planning on displaying some of the bras in a 'fashion show' format as well as hanging some up like an art gallery setting.
We are looking for something 'uplifting' for the title of the luncheon and the art bra project. Can anyone help me try and come up with a name?

Sheila, good question and a toughy.......I will keep my thinking cap on today and see waht I can come up with......WOW wish I could be there for the show!......I would even model one of the bras!.....LOL....(I have become such an exhibitionnist since I had my "tummy tuck and boon job" LOL)........

Lucy, thanks for volunteering to model. We are working on getting girls from a local dance studio to do the modeling (jrs and srs in high school) but they will be wearing tight t-shirts or leotards under the bras. I am hoping that they will put photos of the show on the wig bank website.

Dream those are some good ideas. The fashion show we are planning will have theme music for each bra on the catwalk. My bra is the 'Colors of Cancer Support bra' covered with ribbons from many of the cancer support colors from the ACS and I want played part of 'I will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor.
EWB, That is the problem trying to come up with something really clever with uplifting for the name. And the reunion was great, Saw people I hadn't seen since we moved from OH in 1975. Everyone says that they will try to do better and stay in touch.

I saw the coordinator last night and gave her some of the suggestions with a few modifications and she loved
GLITZ AND GLAMOUR - UPLIFTING THROUGH SUPPORT
We will pass these ideas on to the other organizaitonal committee members to see what they think. Keep them coming.
Thanks.
