Relay For Life is finally here!

$925 has already been raised for team Night Owls For A Cure - yay - it's going to be a good year! A big thanks to those who've donated or bought a cheesecake, those small things will make a big difference to someone this year. ACS researchers get most of the notice but on a local level it's a low cost mammagram or free lodging during treatment away from home among many other things. It's pretty awesome to impact someone's life for the better just by spending a day socializing in the sun (yes I'm being hopeful) and having some sweets ;)

Stop out anytime to be my walking buddy since I really will be there for 24 hours and determined to keep someone (ugh myself) Relaying day and night! Come for a slice of cheesecake @ 2 or 7 pm at the tent.It's going to be a great day & I'd love to see you there! Reach me at 416-8631 for directions or just ask for me once you're at the field :)

I really need some help in the afternoon and evening, if you're interested in stopping by please let me know. I'll bribe with food if needed!

Luminaria

The luminaria ceremony will be held Saturday May 31st @ 10pm. I know it's a bit later because of Daylight Savings, but it is really neat when it's dark! Names of all the honorees on the luminaria bags will be named and celebrated. It's definitely my favorite part of the Relay night!

If you'd like to purchase a luminaria bag you may do so online or see me for a bag and you can decorate one yourself. They're available for a $10 donation now thru the day of!

Updates...

I'll be putting up a tentative agenda on Thursday or Friday as I know it for activities and meal times. I'm going to guess the Luminaria ceremony will be around 9:30pm (due to daylight savings they'll want to get close to dark before it starts).

Hold onto your hats - the Relayer who brings along the most guests (any unsuspecting car-riders are fine too) will be the recipient of this (L) tee:

It's amazing what I find when I clean out the Relay tote There's probably some other stuff I'll be giving away too. More to come!
