Good Morning/Afternoon!

I've agreed to serve as the point person and organizer for this year's Relay for Life!
From the website, located at:

July 28-29 2006 noon to noon
Lane Community College

"Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back against this disease. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team keeps at least one team member on the track at all times.

Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another.

Relay gives you the power to help accelerate the Society’s advancement toward a future where cancer doesn’t take the lives of our friends and family."


One of my friends is the point person/organizer for Semperian, over on Country Club Road, and she's got a head start!

We need your help. I'd like to set up bi-weekly meetings to discuss fundraisers and build our team.

You don't have to walk to be on our team. You can help post fliers, help with fundraising, donate, or just offer words of support and encouragement. If you're interested in joining, please shoot me an email (do NOT reply all ;) .) I'm hoping to have our first meeting at the end of this week, or the beginning of next, on a weekend-day or evening. I will set up a blogspot page so that everyone can keep track of our progress/meeting notes/what have you. Please visit http://relayivgneugene.blogspot.com/

Thanks for reading, I hope to hear from MANY of you soon!

(anyone else get the willies when you have to post to everyone in the company?!)

Also got the news from Allegra on the Global Citizenship Committee:

Our proposed sponsorship of the 2006 Relay to Life team has been approved, for $100 registration fee and $500 matching funds. BETHANY is our GC team member that is your liaison, so just let her know what you need!
thx, Allegra

Well begun is half done!!!
