I am creating this blog to keep everyone informed of the activities surrounding the upcoming and future Relay for Life event in Le Mars, Iowa. Please check this blog often as I will update it daily for the next few weeks.
We formed Team Mitchel to walk in the Relay in remembrance of Mitchel Scheitler, who lost a battle with cancer in April 2007. Team members will also be walking in honor and memory of those they know who've been touched or taken by cancer.
Below is some general info about the June relay:
Date & Time: June 1 through June 2, starting at 6 P.M. June 1, ending at 7 a.m. June 2, 2007.
Location: Plymouth County Fairgrounds (2007), future relays to be held at Jim Lorenzen Field, Le Mars, Iowa. Held at Fairgrounds in '07 because of construction and demolition around track at high school.
Who: Team Mitchel '07: Jed, Jeannie, Shelly (team captain), Andy, Jake, Mindy, Tonya, Brian, Leigha, Becky, Jen, Cari, Jill, Wendi, Kristi, Jodie.
2007 Campsite theme: LOVE
Our team will be having a bake sale at our campsite to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Team members are asked to bring individually wrapped baked goods, homemade or otherwise, to sell as part of our fundraising effort.
We submitted a $145.00 committment fee to the American Cancer Society on June 23, 2007, and have purchased $55.00 worth of luminaria bags. An ongoing tally of the funds we raise will be reported on this blog after the relay. Please keep track of how much you raise so we can have an accurate figure.
Team shirts are being made and will be handed out the night of the Relay. They will be red with white writing.
There's an article in today's Le Mars Sentinel about the relay, following is a link to that website:

Please either comment on this article if you have a question, otherwise feel free to e-mail me.
Thanks to everyone!
Shelly
