I sincerely apologize for the incomplete information regarding the availability of the Skacel sock kits to benefit research for ovarian cancer. I spread the word about the worthwhile cause before the kits were even listed on the websites I indicated in the last newsletter. If the response we had is any indication, demand for the kits is already high.

This kit is a wonderful opportunity to support a cause of deep concern, plus you will have the coolest socks on the market as well!

EXTRA! EXTRA! THIS JUST IN!

The Trekking "Egg-stra" Special Sock Kit I mentioned in the last newsletter is in stock at both Jimmy Beans Wool and WEBS.
If you can, tell the order-takers that you heard about the "Egg-stra" Special Sock Kit here!
