Message from Sue McCollum
Dear Friends, This year we are celebrating the Ten Year Anniversary of My Blue Dots. Because of your gifts of time, talent, and treasure, My Blue Dots exists today. Thus, this issue is to acknowledge all of you who have contributed to making My Blue Dots the organization it is today. Ten years ago, many of you were with me and supported me when I received my blue dots. This was a very challenging time in my life and for all of you who were there, I thank you. Others have supported My Blue Dots giving their time to help package the ornaments and decorate the trees. Many others have prayed for us and encouraged us along the way. For this I am very grateful and I thank you. Hospitals and companies have displayed our ornaments and books for years. They have sold my book, Moving On...before and after cancer as well as the ornaments. Both were sold to support those going through their cancer experience and for that, I thank you. Many of you have given of your treasure to support cancer research and the cancer programs we have been involved with over the years. Without your gifts, this could not have happened...and I thank you. This Newsletter is dedicated to all of you with my heartfelt thanks for your support, love, and encouragement during these past ten years. Until Next Time........ Sue
