My Pink Scarf Featured on KFYR TV!

I recently did an interview with KFYR TV in Bismarck, ND about the My Pink Scarf project.

Here is a link If you would like to read a transcript of the story.

Thank you to KFYR TV for helping spread the word about this amazing project!

Update from the University of Wisconsin-Stout

I heard from Erin with Threads, the fiber arts group, at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.  She wrote:  “We have collected a total of 74 scarves for your cause and they have been donated to Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Red Cedar Hospital in Menomonie, Wisconsin; Aurora Bay Care Medical  Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin; and Mayo Clinic in Minneaspolis, Minnesota.  Threads is so grateful for such a wonderful service opportunity.  Thank you, again.”

Thank you,Threads, for volunteering to help my cause.  74 women’s lives will be touched because of your generosity and kindness.

Women’s World Magazine

On Tuesday, May 20, 2008, I received a call from Andrea, Senior Editor at Women’s World Magazine.  We visited about the pink scarf project and she informed me that they are going to be runing the story in the July 28th issue of the magazine, which will be in the stores on July 21st.  EXCITING!!

After I got off the phone I couldn’t sit still.  I couldn’t believe it!  Later in the day when the news starting sinking in, I realized how fortunate I was to have a website (that’s how Women’s World Magazine found my story).  I have Scott Wild to thank for that.  He volunteered his time and talent and put together a beautiful website and he’s been behind me every step of the way. 

Thank you, Scott!!  You’re such a wonderful friend and I’m blessed to have you in my life. 

A Note from Ann Baker

Hi Tara, I wanted to let you know about my pink scarves.  I started making them after seeing your website and was going to mail them to you.  My 87 yr old Mother and I were crocheting and knitting away,when some of the girls here at Gore wanted them to wear in the walk for Breast Cancer last Sunday.  I gave them 10 scarves and asked them to give them to survivors when the race was over.  They did and it was such an emotional time for them.  They have thanked me for giving them the scarves and sent me more yarn.  I now have my 9 yr old granddaughter crocheting.  She started last night and has over 4 inches done all ready.  Below is the picture of the girls in the walk before they gave their scarves away.  I am thankful for your brother, letting us know about your ministry to woman.  We will be sending you some scarves as soon as we have some left.  We seem to be giving them out as fast as we make them.  Thanks again and I will be in touch again.

A Very Special Evening

On April 28, 2008 I attended the Annual FCE Spring Banquet in Wing, ND.  The banquet was for the Burleigh County homemakers and Wing hosted the event.

One of the members asked me to do a presentation about my pink scarves.  As I approached the podium and was getting organized, I looked out into the audience and saw a rainbow of pink scarves.  Almost every woman was wearing a scarf around her neck. I just stopped and stared.  It was so beautiful – it took my breath away.   There was every shade of pink you could imagine! 

After my presentation, I was given the scarves, one by one, by the women who made them.  My project received 32 scarves that evening!   Wow!

Thank you, ladies, for such a wonderful evening.  Believe me, it was an evening I will never forget.
