Notes from Monday

Team Captains, Remember...
*All onsite food needs to have a permit from Kelly Olfers at City Hall 997-7521. Kelly is not going to charge anyone for the permit, but you HAVE to have one if you are cooking anything beyond a ‘bake sale.’

*Your campsite is 10X20, and all are facing inward to help promote onsite fundraising. It will also help to have signs to promote your fundraiser

*Bring team signs for your campsite and to carry on the team lap. I would love to have spirit signs to cheer the survivors all the way around the track!!

*No pets…sorry, the schools rule not ours.

*Please bring lighters for your team to use during the Luminaria ceremony.

*If anyone has pictures from last year, especially of closing ceremony, please bring them to me, or email them.

Last meeting!!

Team Captain info...

*Please make team (name) signs for your campsite.
*Bring and item (or 2) to add to our silent auction, the money will go to your team!

Cancer Awareness Calender - April

April 2007 is...
National Cancer Control Month
National Minority Cancer Awareness Week (April 15-21)
National Volunteer Week (April 15-21)

To clarify the rumors....

I got a call today stating team members were not participating in this year's Relay For Life because the American Cancer Society supported Pro-Choice organizations.

My answer....No! The American Cancer Society financially funds
R...research
E...education
A...advocay
S...services
ON to a cure for all types of cancer.

They do not support other organizations at all, unless they are..
R...Researching cures for cancer
E...Educating people about cancer and cancer prevention
A...Advocating about the American Cancer Society and it's cause, or
S...Supporing a Service provided by the American Cancer Society

The official answer from the VP of communications for the American Cancer Society...
The American Cancer Society does not support Pro-Choice organizations. There was an instance, last year where the American Cancer Society funded a grant for Smoking Cessation classes in a clinic. The funds were used to train the teachers and support the Smoking Cesation program. It was later found out that Planned Parenthood classes were also taught within the same clinic. These were completely different programs that just happened to be taught within the same building.

I hope this clears up the issue. If there is anything further, please ask me. I will come talk to your organization or send you to the official people within the American Cancer Society.

PLEASE HELP ME CLEAR THESE ISSUES, spread the word and always ask! Dont just assume the rumors are correct.

Thank you, ARAH

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month

Each year 130,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

I can fight back against colon cancer....

*I can encourage a friend or family member to get tested for colon cancer.
*I can make a personal commitment to decrease my risk. Colon cancer risk factors are age, family history, an drace, but other factors - suck as smoking, obesity, and diet also impact my risk.

Check out the full calendar http://www.cancer.org/docroot/MED/content/MED_1_Cancer_Calendar.asp

I have heard several really great fundraising ideas from teams this year!!! Come share your ideas and advertise your event!!

Another sneaky meeting!!! Here it comes..

Our next meeting in this Monday, March 3rd, 6:30pm at Clear River Pecan.

Please bring your participant forms, or make sure everyone has registered online by Monday to guarantee a tshirt.

This also means ALL teams need to be registered. If you do not want to register online at http://events.cancer.org/rflgillespietx, then come to the meeting with your $20 registration fee, there will be plenty of forms there.

Today I was busy....

I wanted to make a few notes for everyone....
Since I am only working a few days a week at HEB, I am spending my other days driving around Fredericksburg!! In the last few days I have talked to A LOT of people about becoming sponsors and having a team for our amazing Gillespie County Relay For Life!!!

Please help me find even more teams and sponsors. It is all of our job to help spread the word.

GO Relay!!!!

Fundraisers

I would like to throw out a discussion topic on fundraisers. We are well into the time frame where we need to be having our fundraisers.


I have heard a lot of great ideas this year. It is so much easier to get people to give you money for something they need or can use...or a good time.


I was in Creative Awards today, and realized that they can make A LOT of different items!! How about a Koozie with your info and the Relay logo? Water...almost any business could sell bottles of water. This is a great option vs a soda; plus, when you empty your bottle you could leave it on your desk or counter and ask people to drop their dimes in!!! One water bottle holds $100 worth of dimes!!! WOW!

Today I heard a twist on the penny drive idea. If you make the Penny Drive a competition between departments, classes, or offices, the buckets of pennies can grow fast!!! Here is the twist....pennies count, but 'silver money' counts against your total. Therefore the department that is winning would have the other departments putting nickles, dimes and quarters in to try to reverse it. GREAT IDEA!!!

Please comment back and give me some of your fundraising ideas!!! Lets work together to benefit Realy For Life and the American Cancer Society!!!

Feb 4 Meeting Minutes

Notes from the February 4th meeting and General Update
This was a brain storming committee meeting. We discussed possible new teams. Each member left with a list of people to contact. Please follow up on your list and let me know if you need anything from me. Team Captains, remember you get Ultimate Team points for recruiting a new team!!!

We also brainstormed fundraisers with the Team Captains. There were some great ideas, plus I added a few.
-Softball, bowling, washers, or golf tournament
-Printing water bottles and selling them, possibly at the above tournaments.
-Father/Daughter dance
-www.RelayGear.com is full of sellable items, such as the purple wristbands!!!
-Making bookmarks with drawings and/or poems.
-I have a contact to makes bumper stickers, if anyone is interested.
-Penny Drive (this would be a great competition between teams).
-Charging for the ability to wear denim on Friday, or Casual Friday.
-Making hand made items to sell (buttons, tshirts, birdhouses, bracelets, etc)
-Letter writing is the #1 fundraiser! If you register online, you can email templates they already have set up!!
-Charging for man-power to help set up or break down your campsite at Relay.
Let me know if anyone is interested in more information on any of these. I would love to hear your ideas!!!
