In 2007 as the event chair for our Relay I only had two commitees or should I say committee members. I had an accounting chair and an online chair. With the rest of Relay left up to me I came up with a 'How Can I Help' list. On it I listed everything I needed and I went from business, to business and dropped it off. It worked, so I wanted to share it with you. This year I am fortunate to have last year's contacts and I am able to make my list much smaller. Have a Relay great day! Judi
