What becomes an urban legend most?

Perhaps repeating the story in your own words...

Every Thursday she shops at the local supermarket and buys the weekly groceries for herself and her family. This day was not unusual, except that she bought more salami, a treat for herself when the husband was out of the house and she could delight in its unctuousness. She placed the grocery bags on the back seat, closed the door, opened the driver’s door and sat behind the wheel. When she pulled the door shut a loud bang exploded behind her and she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. She reached with her hand to the spot and felt a moist glob. The pain subsided with a sudden realization that she had been shot in the head and that part of her brain was leaking out. She kept her hand on her head to hold the matter in place and tried to regulate her breathing. Some time must have passed, she couldn’t tell, the adrenalin pumping through her veins and the fear of losing too much blood kept her thoughts on the danger she was in and how to escape this life-threatening situation. What could she do? If she moved, she might make her condition worse. So she tightly held her hand to her spattered head, praying someone to come to her aid. A man walked by and she yelled out to him. “Help me, I’ve been shot!” As he ran over so did a few other passersby who heard her. They opened the door and examined her sticky head. As they gently removed her hand there was no blood but much of the dough from a Pop’n Fresh Croissant tube that had exploded and hit her in the head.

A great resource for the region!

Pinkkis for breast cancer cure: Westport Farmers Market

Cookies for a Cure October 27th 10am-2pm
Come join me Thursday, October 27th from 10am-2pm at the Westport Farmer's Market, and discover Savor Cookies' magnificent Pinkki. Made with rosewater syrup, orange and cranberry with beet pulp to make it pink, this epicurean delight is the brainchild of owner, Andre Kreft.

Andre and I are both supporters of organically made, beautifully presented and great tasting delicacies. This pursuit naturally led us both to meet at The Westport Farmer's Market, where, throughout the summer, we coupled our interest and set up tables to market our gastronomical passion to the curious public.

After seeing (and Tasting!) the artfully wrapped Pinkki collection, I approached Andre to supply the cookies as a fundraiser during October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. He was swift to agree, and as a result of our planning, "Cookies for a Cure" was born.

Delightful bags of the Pinkki, will be available to the public at a cost of $8.00 per bag. Savor Cookies will graciously donate $4.00 per bag, which will be matched by me, with our then combined total being matched personally by Bill Raveis, Chairman & CEO of WRRE. That's $16 per bag of sweet contributions being donated to The William Raveis Breast Cancer Research Fund.

The WRRE Breast Cancer Fund has raised $1.5 million to date in support of the William Raveis-ACS Patient Navigator Program at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, CT and the Patient Navigator Program at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston, MA. These two Patient Navigator programs combined, assisted more than 1,000 patients in 2010 and close to 1,300 cancer patients and their families are expected to be helped this year.

Through the assistance of these programs, patients navigate through breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. They move from consultations with medical professionals to decisions about treatment to concerns about finances and how to care for loved ones. The Patient Navigators work with the patients and partner with hospital staff to make sure newly diagnosed cancer patients, their families and care givers receive the support they need.

We all have been reminded that this is the month to support a cause that effects so many of those we love each year. Please join us on October 27th and buy a bag of Pinkki's in memory of someone you lost, or for those you stand beside, in the fight to find a cure.


Note: In the event of product sell out on the afternoon of the event, Andre will be taking orders, wherein the donation ratio will still apply.
