2009 Relay plans are underway...

I had my first meeting tonight for the 09 relay, they highlighted some of the changes for our relay this year, including ending events at the track at midnight and holding a candlelight vigil at the hospital, I guess they just light a bunch of candles and you can go there to pray and honor your loved ones affected by cancer. The reason they want to do that is to hopefully keep people at the track longer and to attract more people. They'll just do the overnight "fun walks" in the evening hours rather than the overnight hours. I think it will be a good thing for Plymouth County.

I got lots of handouts and everyone's team member packets. I was wondering if we could all get together as a team some weeknight soon and discuss fundraising for this year, to hopefully include a softball tournament and other ideas. I want everyone's input on our fundraising so if we could plan to get together for a pizza supper somewhere, that would be great. And then we could go through the team member packets together and answer any questions anyone has. I just think it would be great to get together for a fun time to get some planning underway. Let me know if there is a best night of the week for you and we'll get something planned.

Austin won a door prize, he went with us and got a Relay duffle bag, so that was fun. I have lots of fun stuff to share with everyone, hope to hear from EVERYONE soon!!!

Later,
