Holiday Greetings Adventure Women!

The journey continued this fall with an October weekend of retreat and renewal at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA. 22 "breast sisters" nurtured their bodies and spirits during an amazing weekend of reflection and connection. See Fall 2005 Retreat photos below.

A successful and sunny 3rd Annual Craft Fair was held in September on The Commons in Rochester, NH. Over $1,300 was raised to benefit BJBBCR programs and events. Plans for Craft Fair 2006 are underway.

Exciting news on the growth and development of the BJBBCR - we are now a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non profit organization! We are now able to launch our development and fundraising plan to support retreat programs for women living after breast cancer.

Speaking of launching, we are now part of the world wide web! Our website must be up and running if you are reading this newsletter. We have gone electronic! Watch our site for announcements of 2006 Retreats and Events.

May we all keep the spirit of retreat and renewal alive in every moment of everyday. Peace, love and good health to you in 2006.
Tortuga Lives!
