Nikki Shames
Out of Thin Air Balloon Artistry

e-mail: balloonfolks@aol.com

I have been only been in the business a short time but in that time have been 
so touched by the caring and family feeling between balloon artists across 
the world.

My husband and I were very impressed by the gentleman that went out and 
twisted for people at the local airport and blood bank.  What a wonderful way 
to help put a smile, however brief, on the faces of both children and adults.

We were wondering if there are any twisters in the Toronto to Niagara region 
of Ontario Canada who would be interested in forming a "trauma Team" (for 
lack of a better name).  Whenever there is an emergency in our area ie. a 
large evacuation we can call on a group of people to head out and help raise 
spirits.

Just a thought, let me know if you are interested and we'll work out the 
logistics.

God bless you all and our prayers for all those affected by Tuesday's tragic 
events.

Nikki
