Healing Tapestry Project
The WCRC will be featuring a special art project at
this year’s annual fundraiser, the Swim A Mile
for Women with Cancer, for swimmers to commemorate and
honor those for whom they are swimming. This project
is called the Healing Tapestry Project and each swimmer
is invited to decorate their own individual cloth “flag”
to commemorate the person or persons of whom they are
swimming in honor or in memory.
We are in need of volunteers with sewing machines or
volunteers with knowledge in sewing (or even simply
sewing machines that we can borrow for the night) to
join us the evening of Tuesday, August 8th from 4pm
to 7pm to attach ribbon to donated cloth napkins.
Please RSVP to Ali, Swim A Mile Coordinator, at ali@wcrc.org
or 510/527-1918 if you are able to join us.

and Healing, T'ai Chi Chih for Balance and Well-being,
