...of the national "Beads of Courage" program that I learned about at SWAT Symposium(TX) last year. This is a program of Arts in Medicine to support making containers for the beads of children undergoing treatments for a multitude of serious diseases such as cancer, and I brought the idea back to my 2 local AAW Chapters for possible participation. We are starting a project in cooperation with the big local children's hospital, and I encourage any of you to Google "Beads of Courage" for further info. There can be no better cause than supporting children facing life threatening diseases and multiple medical procedures.
