It Takes a Village …
January 23, 2008We have officially made it through our second Team Captain’s meeting! I have to say that while Mother Nature decided we needed a little wet, cold snap…that would have made most individuals want nothing more than to curl up in front of a fire place with a nice hot beverage, we had some wonderful people brave the weather to sign-up their teams for Relay – and we are grateful for each and every one of you!
After last night’s meeting, as I was headed home, I had the quote about it taking a village to raise a child, pop into my head. Apparently, that village never hosted a Relay For Life!
It takes a small army, all working together, to produce a successful Relay event. From the committee members who can change gears at a minutes notice…and some how still make it look effortless, to the team captains and participants who serve as the backbone for each and every winning Relay, to the survivors who inspire us to make each and every event better that its predecessor, to the businesses and corporations who support this cause with various degrees of sponsorship, to our American Cancer Society Community partners who act as both guidance counselors and sounding boards – we are truly grateful to have each and every one of you as part of the 2008 Frisco Relay For Life.
In the upcoming weeks, you will see the Relay Army out and about in the community, looking for new recruits and asking you to support them as they wage war on this formidable foe know as Cancer.
We wanted to take this opportunity to welcome our new teams to the 2008 Frisco Relay For Life and encourage those who are considering forming (or joining) a team to sign-up online.
Once again, welcome, thank-you…and we’ll see you at Relay!
