Seacoast Concert For A Cure

The Betty J. Borry Breast Cancer Retreats was chosen as one of the local organizations to receive funds from the 2nd Annual Seacoast Concert for a Cure. The festivities began at 12:30 p.m. with the gospel tunes of Rock My Soul and continued until 8 p.m. with music by Assembly of Dust, DeSol, Pondering Judd, Bellevue Cadillac and Tom Richter and the Bernouli Sailors. Hundreds of people participated in the Silent Auction and Raffle which included tickets to The Colbert Report and a trip for 2 to anywhere Southwest Airlines flies. In addition to the concert, the event also raised money by auctioning off a guitar, signed by Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark and Joe Ely on eBay during the week preceding the concert. All of the organizers, staff, artists, and sound engineers volunteered skill and time and the Redhook Brewery donated the performance and celebration space to ensure that almost all the funds raised will go to the designated charities. This gathering was a wonderful celebration of hope and living our lives to the fullest after breast cancer. Thank you Seacoast Concert for a Cure.

E-mail Silent Auction

A generous donation of an Atlas 740 Snowshoe Kit from Ellen Moran of Eastern Mountain Sports in Peterborough, NH inspired our first e-mail Silent Auction. We opened our own t-bay (Tortuga-bay) Silent Auction on March 14, 2006, challenging our Adventure Women to bid on the snowshoe package in support of our Tortuga Scholarship Fund. The bidding closed at mid-night on March 21st with the highest bid from Linda Ridlon of No. Berwick, ME. Congratulations, Linda, for your donation and new snowshoe kit.
Thank you, everyone, for joining in the fun and being such good sports about your e-mail mailboxes getting filled up with our bidding activity!

This woman needs a pair of snowshoes and some snow!  Good thing she won the Atlas Snowshoe Kit from EMS........

4th Annual Arts and Crafts Festival
September 9, 2006
9:00am - 4:00pm
Stratham Hill Park, Rt 33, Stratham, NH

Under sunny, beautiful skies, our 4th annual Arts and Crafts Festival was a great celebration in support of women living after breast cancer.  We had a fun-filled day of musical entertainment by guitarist and songwriter Sammie Hayes and Jeff Monkman, educational displays by Exeter Hospital, home baked goodies donated for our bake sale table and a fantastic variety of arts and crafts donated from our 65 crafters for our Raffle event.  None of this would have been possible without our fleet of volunteers in blue Tortuga t-shirts who set-up our space for the crafters, ran the Raffle/bake sale event, directed the traffic and assisted in numerous ways to make this fundraiser a huge success.   Our thanks to the crafters who supported our Arts and Crafts Festival with their hand crafted wares and the Town of Stratham for use of their beautiful park.
