For those of you in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri, your Task Forces were hard at work this weekend, planning for '08 and beyond.  We have such awesome opportunities in our division, with 720 events - more than any other division out there!

For those of you division and region leaders out there, do you have strategic plans?  We ask our events to craft their plan, complete the 1,000 Day Journey, but do you for your leadership efforts?  How will you train?  Is relayforlife.org part of your plan?  How will you support increases as opportunities for new events decline?  (I'm askin' because I'm lookin' for ideas!!)

I'm excited to help my division with our training plan, making sure we are doing what we need to today to meet our future needs as we change and grow.

Last but not least, our weekend ended with a fitting tribute to Victoria Enmon, a Hero of Hope and amazing young woman whom we lost earlier this year to her fight with cancer.  Her mother surprised us all by being there, and she spoke in such a positive, uplifting manner.  Even when you've done this for 10 years, it's so important to remember why we do this - and to keep fighting!
