You would think after the responce we recieved from our New teams and businesses contaced feb the 13th would have been better. Well we signed one team that night

Another Devestating blow for ther Committee having only 1 team captain show.

Again I beat my upself blaiming it on myself So I hurriedly scrambled to get 10 teams signed I was able to do it and  as of march 1st we have 10 teams signed up were up and running 50% at our goal Im still going strong and taking on even more week as well as getting my own team going on our fundraisiers We have a Pancake Feed in the works that will probably happen end of april to mid May and we are teaming up with aonther team who has there own Lodge how cool is that .

Our ANNUAL Kick off was scheduled for this Tuesday. We were hit with a bad winter blizzard that paralyzed the entire city. We had to cancel because the roads were too bad to travel on and too dangerous. We had been planning for 4 months this was going to be the biggest kick off ever we had a big room donated by Embassy suites food and refreshments donated  as well We had mailed out close to 3 thousand letters to the area businesses, newsletters were sent as well as invitations. Over 700 people were emailed and we had a special guest speaker. I know there IS  no use in crying over spilled milk and no one saw this coming thats for sure.

In May of 1999 I lost my Grandmother Myrtle Rader to lung cancer. In 2005 I lost My Aunt Nancy Brand to bone cancer.It is so hard watching someone you love die and there is nothing you can do about it . Both of these women fought brave and hard,but lost their life to this disease. The American Cancer Society allows me to pick up the torch and continue the fight.

My first year I was not even much of a participant being introduced to the Relay For Life NE Portland. My second year I was a team captain and it was a fabulously fun and unforgettable time. I'm now coming upon my third year and I am the Team Development Chair .If you were at the Greatwest Summit in Reno this year you will agree it was the most awesome experience meeting so many other Relayer's.We laughed and cried we danced and sang we traded cards and I came away with the biggest addition yet to my Relay Family. 1100 Relay Fanatic's just like myself.
