Last CAPTAIN Meeting

Well, it's here folks and the weather is going to BE GREAT.  We had our last captain meeting on Monday  night and it was packed!  So much to go over...
First.. general Relay info for you...

  • We have 50 registered teams this year.
  • 136 registered survivors (WE NEED MORE.. TELL ANY SURVIVOR YOU KNOW TO COME)
  • 639 registered walkers
  • To date, we have already raised $102,490
  • The registration desk is looking for volunteers.  Only an hour or so.  Please let me know if you can help and I'll point you in the right direction.  All you are doing is taking in the forms that people fill out.
  • If anyone would like to, they still need desserts for the survivor dinner.
  • September 17th is our wrap up and awards night at the Knights of Columbus.  All are welcome, it's a wonderful eventing.

Other tidbits...

  • Oct. 21st at 11 AM in Elm Park, Worcester will be the 2nd annual "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" event.


OKAY... NOW.. onto our team info...

You all know what you are bringing and thank you!! You can drop your items off to me prior to Friday OR.. if bringing to the field.. you are only allowed to drive your car onto the field until 3pm.  And even then, you are required to drop off and immediately move your car.    Please remember to bring your OWN chair and a bag of ice.  Also, if you are not selling food or cooking it, please hang back in the second tent.. ESPECIALLY kids.. need to hang back.  Thanks for understanding!  We don't want anyone getting hurt.


And here is a reminder of what I suggest you bring with you:
  • Address labels & Cash for raffle's
  • Flip Flops/Sandals AND sneakers with socks
  • Sunscreen and bug spray
  • Sweatshirt
  • Ipod or CD player for walking the track
  • Portable Fan
We will be on the field between 8 and 9 Friday morning to start setting up.  Any and all are welcome to come help.  The relay OFFICIALLY kicks off at 5:30, but y'all know we start selling EARLY!  People will be waiting for the grinders!  We love offers to help set up because it's a lot of work. :)  Also, any help breaking down Saturday is great too.  The Relay officially ends at NOON and then awards and packing up.

I am sooo happy and lucky to have you all in my life and I appreciate each and every one of you. Thanks for participating. Thanks for being a friend.  Thanks for helping us fight back against Cancer!

HUGS TO YOU ALL!
