Announcements
for Thursday, January 31, 2008
from Lawanda Miller, Office of
the Chancellor
This Friday, February 1, is the fifth anniversary of National Wear
Red Day. (http://www.goredforwomen.org/national_wear_red_day.html)
It's the day to wear your favorite red clothes or accessory - a red blouse, a
red dress pin, a fabulous red handbag - put on red lipstick, or sport a red tie
and red socks. Go red in your own fashion to show
your support for women and the fight against heart disease. (http://www.goredforwomen.org/take_action.html)
Through your support, we have made a significant impact around the issue of
women and heart disease. In the last five years we have raised awareness of the
fact that heart disease is the number one killer of women. However, our work is
not done. There are still too many women who are not aware of this disease and
the actions they can take to reduce their risk. Help us by sending this email to
your friends and family and wearing red on February 1.
In addition to our volunteers, we could not have grown into such a vibrant
national movement without all the companies that embrace and elevate our cause.
Our supporters and sponsors have even designed special products, donated a
portion of their sales to the movement and found so many innovative ways to
inspire others to Go Red. (http://www.goredforwomen.org/our_sponsors.html)
In particular, Macy's, a proud national sponsor of Go Red
for Women, will help us celebrate our fifth anniversary. On Friday,
February 1, Macy's will offer an all-day savings pass for customers wearing red.
For those who forget their red, Macy's is offering an all-day savings pass to
those who make a $2 donation in the store to the American Heart Association. All
contributions received will benefit the Go Red for Women
movement. Learn more about Macy's support of Go Red.

Thank you to all for your support.
Sincerely,
Your friends at the American Heart Association
PS. Going Red is about finding your own way to take part in the fight against
heart disease in women. Whether it's supporting local events, visiting your
healthcare provider, purchasing products that support the cause, or supporting
National Wear Red Day, you can do something
special to love your heart.
The FSU family would like to extend
our deepest sympathy to the family of Johnny Jones, father of Quanda Woodard of
the Fayetteville Business Center.
Visitation will be held on Friday, February 1, from 6-8 p.m. at Gardner Funeral
Home in Angleton, TX. The wake and funeral will be held from on Saturday,
February 2, from 3-5 p.m. at First Missionary Baptist Church in Freeport, TX.
