Sites Articles New art graces Breast Cancer Awareness Garden The Easton Irregular December 2003-January 2004 On Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2003, the Women in Business Council of the Two Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce and the two students from lafayette College, Williams Visual Art Center and their Professor Alastair Noble, unveiled public artwork completed by the students for the WIB “Breast Cancer Awareness Garden.” There were two log sculptures unveiled, “Grand Spiral” artist Matthew Hokanson, and “Natural Identity,” artist Matthew O’ Donnell; both are from the Class of 2005. The garden is located on the corner of Spring Garden and Riverside Drive in Riverside Park. In attendance at the dedication were Michael Moorehead, TRACC president; James Palmeri, TRACC chairman; and Sally Bird, chair of the Women in Business Council. “This is a wonderful partnership between the college and chamber, between the business and educational communities,” said Mr. Moorehead. “It’s indicative of (Lafayette) President (Arthur) Rothkopf’s willingness to include the town projects. The chamber is very excited about what Lafayette is doing in Easton. We look forward to continuing a great relationship with Lafayette College through this and many other projects.” Throughout the year the committee will be raising funds, by the sale of pins and chocolate ribbons, to be used for meals, cleaning and entertainment or for whatever is needed to help survivors. The Breast Cancer Awareness Garden was started in 1996 to bring awareness to this horrible disease by Carole Heffley, now an Easton councilwoman-elect. The Women in Business Council maintains it.
