3 days until the Relay!!!

Hello Team Mitchel!

It's hard to believe the relay is only 3 days away, especially with this weather. Doesn't feel much like late May!

Wanted to remind everyone to be thinking about what you'll be bringing for the relay bake sale. Individually wrapped goodies would work great. Something like rice krispy bars, trail mix in baggies, things like that would be great ideas. If anyone cares to, feel free to get bottles of water to sell alongside our bake sale. Any cost to you will be reimbursed out of our sales.

I ordered 300 glow stick bracelets to sell for $1 each at our campsite after dark. I'm hoping that will be a big hit.

Sounds like we might be getting rained on, I think if that's the case, they'll have us walk in one of the buildings at the fairgrounds. It would be fun to be outside, but no matter where we are, we'll be together and that's really what matters.

Still need a few people's money for the shirts that Tonya is having made, so if you haven't paid for that yet ($9) please bring that money with you Friday so we can get that taken care of. We'll have your shirts at the campsite to hand out.

Please be at the fairgrounds by 6 p.m. Friday night, earlier if you can come help set up camp. Our tent is a light green, it is actually 2 tents that are connected, and our campsite will be the one with all the heart balloons. It shouldn't be too hard to spot us!

Hope everyone is excited for the Relay! It's going to be a great time and I am looking forward to it. Please bring all the funds you've raised thusfar to the relay and we'll get all that money in order so we can make our final donation, which they collect right before the luminaria ceremony at 9:45.

If you aren't staying overnight, please plan on walking your hour sometime between 6 p.m. and whenever you have to leave so those that do stay overnight will walk only their hour. From 6 a.m. - 7 a.m., for the final hour, our team will be tied together for the All Team Walk.

We do now have a canopy and long table for the bake sale, now all we need is a good weather forecast! Let's all pray for great weather!!!

Well, Team, Thanks for all your hard work and I'll be seeing you all soon!!!

P.S. The Relay is open to the public, so tell all your family, friends, neighbors, whatever, to join us for a good time to raise money in our fight against Cancer.
