Keep Your Eyes Out for LACE!
By
Michelle Reid
Our 2012 materials have arrived! Postcards and our eye-catching lacy poster design are ready to be shipped to clinics, volunteers and supporters around the province- visit our Materials page to get your hands on some LACE for #Pap12!
Each year we distribute thousands of postcards to folks around the province, encouraging everyone to pass one on to a woman in their life who they love. Our participating clinics also display them to let their communities know that they will be a #Pap12 site (last year we had more than 140 clinics!), so keep a watch for them at your local clinic.
Postcards and posters are a great way to raise awareness through eye-catching graphics and meaningful messages. If you want to distribute #Pap12 materials in your community, sign up as a volunteer! And once you have them, here are some great places to distribute them:
♥ Leave some at the reception desk of your workplace or school
♥ Pin up a postcard or poster at your gym or yoga studio!
♥ Ask permission to put up posters at your favourite coffee shop and local boutiques
♥ Tuck a few into magazines and books at your local library, bookstore or pharmacy- it'll be an informational surprise for the next woman to pick them up!
♥ Post them on a events board at your community centre
♥ Give each of your friends five postcards and challenge them to talk to five women about the importance of Pap tests!
♥ Leave them at your local drop-in clinic-- even if they aren't participating, they can still refer women to the nearest participating clinic.
Got a great idea for distributing materials? Tell us on Facebook or Twitter!
