Sweet Pea Project is having
a busy little winter this year, so I thought I'd quickly share with you some of
the things we have going on.
As you may have heard,
Sweet Pea Project's founder- Stephanie Paige Cole- was nominated for the Unity
Award, which is given to a "Mom making a difference" by the
organization MASK once a year. She has
made it to the top 15, which means she will be featured in the spring issue of
MASK Magazine, and she will be honored at a luncheon in Scottsdale, Arizona on
March 21. Voting is now open to
determine who the winner is, and with our strong community we have a real shot
at this! If you are able to, we would be
so grateful if you would vote once a day from now until March 1, and share the
link with your friends. It is super fast
and easy.

Sweet Pea Project's next
free community event is also right around the corner. Coffee & Conversation with Catherine A.
G. Bayly will be held on Friday, March 8 at Mulberry Art Studios in Lancaster,
PA. It is going to be such a peaceful,
yet powerful evening. Candle light and coffee and desserts, the company of
other parents who understand our wounded hearts, an opportunity to hear the
talented poet and professor Catherine A. G. Bayly speak and a chance to sit
down and, with her gentle guidance, explore our grief and put the unspeakable
down in words. All spaces filled up
rather quickly, and so we decided to open up 5 more seats. If you would like to join us, and we really
hope you do, please reserve your seat today.
Registration will close at the end of the day on February 15th, as long
as spaces remain. More information, and
the link to registration, can be found at www.sweetpeaproject.org/coffee.
Then on Saturday, March 9,
Beth Gauthier and Stephanie Cole will be heading to the Ware Center at Millersville
University's 42 North Prince Street, Lancaster, location to represent Sweet Pea
Project and bereaved mothers everywhere at the International Women's Day
Celebration Event. The event is free and
offers a morning filled with inspiring & engaging speakers who will share
about the work they are doing here in Lancaster and around the world to
positively impact the lives of women. There will be speakers, breakout sessions
with Q&A time, and a room filled with organizations working on behalf of
women worldwide where you can purchase fair trade items such as jewelry,
clothing, purses and more! Sweet Pea
Project will be handing out information as we work to educate the public about
this important women's issue, and we'll be collecting donations of blankets and
monetary contributions. Please stop by
and say hi! Check out the event's
facebook page for more details,

And last but not least, our
Winter Book Drive has been incredibly successful so far and we're not done
yet! We have had the opportunity to
honor so many children through this drive, and we will be touching the lives of
so many as we distribute these books.
676 books have donated to date, and we still have 2 weeks left to
collect donations for the book drive. If
you would like to participate please visit
www.sweetpeaproject.org/winterbookdrive to learn more. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so
far, it is an honor and a privilege to be a small part of your child's
remembrance.
