Relay 2013

Relay is coming up in the next couple of months! The date is set for July 12th at FZ South High. The venue has changed because Lutheran is redoing their field this summer.  I am not ahead like I usually am, but I have started our team site:

http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLCY13PL?team_id=1387006&pg=team&fr_id=52207

You can sign up there to be on the team. We still want to have a BBQ when the school year winds down and to gather information for everyone. So that info will be out sometime soon.

I talked to Katie and Angie, our focus at our tents will be a little different. We will still have the games, but we wanted to sell crafty type stuff. This will include the bracelets and anything else talent lends us. So if you have a talent or ideas, bring it on! Or you could hit up pinterest. :) We are also planning to keep the caricature booth, so if you have a kid that would like to draw people for donations... let me know!

Before hand, I would suggest trying to raise money by selling luminaria for the ceremony. I will get you the form when I have it. Luminaria are the paperbags that will are put around the field when it gets dark. I have taken on that part of relay this year and will be heading up the effort. They are $5 a piece. Again, I will send the form ASAP. Angie and Heidi had some luck sending emails last year. We ended up being a silver level team (3,500+)! 

When it gets closer, I will send out a sign up for working the tent and snacks. I was really bummed last year when it got rained out because of all the people that were there and our tent looked great! Hopefully this year the weather will be fine and we will have a great night for a great cause.

If you think of anything or anyone that I am missing in this email, feel free to pass it along. Anyone is welcome to sign up. 

The more the merrier. 

Sending this email each year reminds me why I do relay. We do relay in honor of Cindy. She was the driving force in the Kelly Clan. She loved a gathering of family and friends. That is what relay is. A gathering of family and friends. One night a year we get together to fight back in honor/memory of her. So thank you in advance from all of the Kellys! We look forward to seeing you all in July. 

Missy, Katie and Angie
