Spring is upon us, and the excitement and activity level at our facilities always increases this time of year.  We’ve indicated in prior newsletters that we continue to get fun feedback from customers who’ve visited with us and attended our on site events, so we’ve continued to look for opportunities to put more on our schedule.  We wanted to make you aware of one that is scheduled for Mother’s Day, Sunday May 13th.  Consider visiting our showroom and museum on this day for an afternoon tea for charity.  Between 2:00pm and 5:00pm EDT, Replacements, Ltd. will host a charity tea to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.  This event is free to the public and is a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day. 

The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is a national organization that is working to bring an end to breast cancer.  It was founded in 1982 by Nancy Goodman Brinker in honor of her sister, Susan Goodman Komen.  Susan, or “Suzy” as she liked to be called, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978.  At the time, much less was known about this disease than now.  Before her death at the age of 36, Suzy requested that her sister help in finding a cure for breast cancer.  The Susan Goodman Komen Breast Cancer Foundation manages a number of programs whose work is to eradicate breast cancer.  One focus of the organization is education.  They offer a very informative website, http://www.komen.org - and a toll-free help line for those interested in telephone assistance. Since 1982, Komen has awarded more than 1,000 breast cancer research grants totaling more than $180 million. Frequently, Komen has funded research that has led to landmark discoveries in the effort to find a cure for and eventually prevent breast cancer.

Replacements, Ltd. is honored to invite you to this special event, and donations large and small will be accepted.  Donations are not required though, and your support alone will be most appreciated.  After enjoying tea and refreshments, if interested you can peruse the many offerings of our 12,000 square foot showroom, the rare and exotic collection of china, crystal, silver, and collectibles in our Museum, and take a guided tour of our 300,000 square foot facilities.  Our showroom staff offers tours of our facility every half hour from 9:30am to 6:00pm daily.  This charity tea is a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day and help fight breast cancer.  Our showroom and museum are conveniently located between Greensboro and Burlington, NC, at exit 132 off Interstate 85/40.  If you have questions regarding this event, you can reach us toll-free at 1-800-REPLACE (1-800-737-5223) seven days a week, 8:00am to 10:00pm ET (we answer the phone very quickly).   We hope to see you at Replacements on Mother’s Day!
