I understand that there is a set of instructions that allow you to quickly change the word HOPE (spelled in luminaria bags in the bleachers) to the word CURE.  These instructions show you how to mark the bags that stay put, as well as placement of the bags to be added.  For example, the top of the O in HOPE would need to be removed to form a U for CURE, etc.  I'm told that if two people are assigned to each letter and this diagram is used, the word can be changed in a matter of a few minutes. 

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

GOT IT! THIS IS WHAT I HAVE:

This is a great activity that events use to reinforce what Relay is about – One day, the Hope that we have that we put into Relay will lead to a Cure! – To this end, what you do is use masking tape to tape the letters “C U R E” down directly below where you will put out the luminaria that spell HOPE… Then at a specified time in the night, have 3 volunteers go and move the luminaria around (one for each of the first three letters, the E does not change)… You’ll take one part of the R off, and move it to the other letters. Bring extra luminaria as H and O take more luminaria than C and U do. When it is complete, have a special song that plays (not too loud, as it might be 3 or 4 in the morning) to celebrate the change… Then have those who are up take a ceremonial lap to celebrate at that time, and you make sure you get photos!”
