On the first Friday in February each year, women and men across the country can unite in the national movement to give women a personal and urgent wake up call about their risk of heart disease. National Wear Red Day supports the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness. Everyone can participate by showing off a favorite red dress, shirt, or tie, or by wearing the Red Dress Pin which are handed out to by the "sister-for-sister" organization.

The "sisters" take a trip every year which includes some educational facets, as well as some fun times. In 2009, the ladies went to New York City to enjoy a day around town. We started at the South Street Seaport, taking the water taxi around the area. Tour guides gave the girls an informative look at the points of interest. One of the favorites was an up close look at the Statue of Liberty. After our tour, we took the bus to Manhattan to attend the play, Mama Mia. Everyone was on their feet dancing and singing to the music. In 2010, the ladies went on an overnight trip to Washington, DC. Our first stop was Arlington National Cemetary where we saw the emotional Changing of the Guard. We then went on a walking tour of the monuments (Washington, Lincoln, WWII, Vietnam) as well as stopping to check out the White House. Our days are full... but fun!
