January 26th Captain Meeting

1. Get Ready for Rally on February 25th. A 1950's Sock Hop - It should be a good time. It will likely be at the Pacific Christian Center, but they are hoping to have it at a larger location. Teams will be able to sell things at the event to raise money for their team. I am going to make scrapbooks like I did last year with the help of my scrapbooking friends. Hopefully we can make 30 books to sell at the event. That will net the team about $300. I also am going to sell cards that my son has created. I haven't decided what that will be yet.
2. CPS3 - If you signed up for the CPS3 event at last years event, YOU NEED TO TURN IN YOUR QUESTIONNAIRES. 86 people out of 300 have not completed the initial paperwork. Please turn them in soon.
3. Daffodil Sales - The American Cancer Society sells flowers each year in March. You can pre-order the flowers from the Relay for Life Site. Click the link to the RFL site and then click the tab for Daffodil Days.
4. New Team Rules. No more than 30 people per team. - This year they are limiting the teams to 30 people. This means that if you have more than 30 people, you will need to start a second team. This will be difficult for some teams, but it will help to take pressure off of the team captains. It is much easier to manage 30 people that 60. There will have to be a separate team captain for the second team as well. This forces more people to help with all the responsibilities. And... More teams = more campsites. The bigger teams will now be able to get bigger campsites with this new rule.
5. Wanted - Volunteers for Relay Events - The RFL needs a Spirit Team Chair, People to help with Decorations, a Team Development Cordinator, a Youth Team Organizer, People to help get Sponsorships, and a Theme Lap Organizer. You can talk to Miranda at the Rally on Feb 25th if you are interested.

Remember - The American Cancer Society is the Official Sponsor of More Birthdays. Please try to eat right and exercise. If everyone could live a healthy lifestyle we could cut our risk of cancer. You can get support from friends through Facebook, Twitter, or my favorite - Blogging. Take care of yourself in 2010 and help to support your friends to do the same.
