November Happenings:

• Chili Cook-off! Wednesday, November 5th 6pm-8pm at Homestead High School [4310 Homestead Road] benefitting the Southwest Allen Relay. A $5 donation gets you chili tasting and a vote. Rest assured, I will not be making any chili.

• I will make a 10% donation on any cheesecake order for Thanksgiving to get 2009 started early. [Can deliver on T-Day as well this year] As always, this is a tax deductible donation with receipt.

Back from hibernation.

Yes. I know. I've committed a blogging sin. As those who know me can attest, Relay is never far from my mind! But my hiatus is officially over - it's time to kick off 2009! This is why I love the Southwest Committee - they're on it.

June 6th, 2009. Summit Middle School. Mark your calendars, postpone your wedding date or family vacation.

This year marks the 25 anniversary of the first Relay For Life - good things to come!

Feeling purple and very, very tired.

A quick note before I collapse on the couch Relay For Life - Southwest Allen was a huge success. I personally had an amazing time, the staff and committee really did a great job putting this Relay together. And rough estimates are putting the total dollars raised at $44,000+! This event will make an important impact on our community with every one of those dollars. I'll simply say 'thanks' to everyone who's played a part this year until the more formal, and coherant wrap-up. I'll admit I wavered, even up to this week, on continuing to do a team but then the event comes and I wonder why I doubted! I'm already looking forward to next year.
