A Heartfelt Thank You to the OceanArt Pewter team

I was thrilled and proud to have the OceanArt Pewter team with me for the launch of the first CAC Comfort Heart Studentship Award in Halifax last week.

So often it is me who receives the credit, the applause and the media attention.  Without May Ocean and her small but mighty company none of this would happen.  May is with me in the top picture and from the left in the second picture - Denise, Linda, May and Cathy.

For the most part, when you call or e mail OceanArt, Denise is the person you reach. Denise and May do it all with help from Cathy when they need additional hands.  Linda was with OceanArt when the Comfort Heart Initiative was born and it remains in her heart today.

May and Denise pour the pewter that makes the Comfort Hearts,  they buff the Comfort Hearts and they package and mail them out to you.  It is a hands-on project and they remain as committed to this Initiative as they were on day one when their very popular Worry Heart became the Comfort Heart back in 1996.  They willingly gave up their net proceeds.

May and Denise,  thank you for over 251,000 Comfort Hearts to date - these little pewter hearts are in the hands of people all over the world.  Thank you for believing in my idea from day one and thank you for all that you do to keep the Comfort Heart Initiative alive.  You are the wind beneath my wings and I love you both.

From the heart,

Carol Ann
