Happy Wednesday!! Here is the first issue of Relay Chat. I want to say thank you for all the hard work, time, and dedication that you put into Relay. The event would not be possible without you. I want to apologize for the email being long but we decided to keep doing it this way so that everyone can view fund-raisers. Also, this will be the address you can contact me at. If there are any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact me.

Have a great rest of the week!!

There will be a new Team Captain Meeting held Thursday March 13^th at 5:45 at the Union Bank on 48^th and Calvert. This is the same place where we have all meetings. I strongly encourage those first time team captains to come. There will lots of information.

Silent Auction for Cure at the Pla Mor Ballroom

Bags can always be turned in early. If you need bags we will always have them at Team Captain meetings. If you are unable to get them there, the American Cancer Society office will always have some to hand out.

Fundraising

Don’t forget to fill out the fund-raising form and turn it into Joyce Lee. You need to fill this out so we know what your team is doing so we can help spread the word. Forms need to filled out for all events prior to the Relay and fund-raising planned for July 25^th. Unless you hear from Joyce your event is good to go. The only time she will contact you is if there is a duplication.
