Going Crazy

I showed up to the Captain's Meeting a week late. I was totally on time, had my name badge on, and money to turn in. However, the parking lot was bare as a baby's butt. Sorry guys. I forget that the meetings are the 3rd Thursdays instead of the last Thursdays. I even put it in my calendar wrong. I must be trying to do too much. I'll get the info from Arlene later.

Committee Meeting - March 7, 2011

Committee Meeting March 7

Rally on March 10th - (I know I am late posting this)

No mailers this year, but we did email blasts and radio and tv spots this year.  There was a good turn out so I guess everyone got the information. 

50 teams already have signed up.  That is half our goal and we have about 10 weeks to go.

There was a 10 minute video about what it means to relay and our Chair, Tony Gonzales, had his mom talk about surviving breast cancer.

Other agenda items were:  how to fight back against cancer, how to form a team, and how to raise donations.  We ended with birthday cake to celebrate more birthdays.

Follow up plan.  Make sure that you call them and make sure that they sign up.

Important information at www.xoutcig.com to help kids stay away from tobacco.

Relay for Life has gone National.  That means that the events are changing and we get more help from the American Cancer Society.  You will be seeing some new systems coming on line including new programs at the event.  However, now pins this year.  This year committee members and team captains will get some exciting new gifts.  Survivors also will not get pins this year.  We have decided that they should get Sheriffs badges to match our theme that we will pay for.

The programs we will have business card sales in the back.  We will be getting forms soon.  Businesses can pay $100 and get their business cards in the program.  The money goes toward the team money.  Turn in the forms and the money at the Captain's meetings.

Paint the town purple will be our next big event after rally.  May first is the traditional date, but Janna has something cooking up for us and she will let us know at the next meeting.

The Rodeo float will be after that.  Let's help decorate.  Rodeo is the first weekend in June and the parade is on Saturday morning.  

We still need help running committees.  We need about 4 people to organize the food.  We need help with accounting and spirit points.
