Kelly Kilmer Artist and Instructor

April 03, 2006

I know this journal page is old but I still like it and thought I'd post it just 'cause I do!
Have been running around crazy gathering supplies, prepping, teaching local classes (always fun!), and family stuff-eek!!! Busy busy busy!
I will post more later about the wonderful trip and classes-I know that teaching at Christine's store in Fort Collins (The Artists Nook) always rocks!!!! I will be there Friday-Sunday teaching. INfo can be found at: www.theartistsnook.net
I am REALLY looking forward to it!!!

In the meantime, here is more info on a San Diego bone marrow drive and some east Coast ones. PLEASE forward this info to anyone who may be interested...THANK YOU!!!!!

HELP EMILY FIGHT – GET TYPED

Emily, a San Diego girl, is a leukemia patient at Boston Children’s Hospital. She needs a bone marrow transplant, but like thousands of other children, she has no donor match. You could be the one. Please help her and other children like her by getting bone marrow typed at:
Clairemont

NorthMinister Presbyterian Church

4324 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard San Diego

Wednesday, April 5, 2006 6p.m. to 9 p.m.

Typing is easy – a simple blood test. Any person between 18 & 60 in good health may be a donor. And it’s free!

Emily’s most likely match is Native American and Italian, but anyone could be her match. She is also of Irish and Portuguese descent.
