The Softball tournament was a ball of fun for everyone, thanks to everyone who helped out and/or played on the team! Here's a picture of the team:





Our team will benefit to the tune of $1,600 and so far the team subtotal including team member registration fees, can drive money and individual fundraising is $2,375 so we've already passed last year's total of $2,270. Great job Team!!!!!

Planning to do an on-site fundraiser this year, but not a bake sale. Ran across this idea when researching on the Relay website last night. It's called lap beads and here's the jist of how it works:

People buy a string from us for $3 with one of those small pony beads on it, and every time they make a lap they stop at our table to pick up a bead (beads free after purchasing string/first bead), and every fourth bead is a different color so people can easily track how many miles they've walked (the string hangs on them like a necklace and they just simply take the necklace off each lap to put on another bead). Only supplies we'd need would be string and beads. Sounds like the team that does it (from another state) has had great success with it.

I'll be hunting for string and beads and this on-site fundraising will take place of our bake sale. Any comments on this?? Let me know.

Our theme for the campsite this year is "Making laps for a cure" so this lap bead fundraiser will tie along nicely into that. I have been hunting for a checkered flag table cover and some checkered penants, found some on e-bay that will look really nice around our campsite to show off our racing theme.

3 weeks til Relay....hope your fundraising is going well and see you all soon.
Reminder: Bank night is May 30, please have any fundraising you've collected to me by then so we can get our t-shirts that night.

Thanks to everyone!!!
