 Letter to captains for Relay For Life of Logan County:Are you all
getting your teams ready for the Relay For Life this year? I hope
so. It's looking more and more like it will be a great year for us.
The committee leaders have pulled together, and several captains
have joined those committees to help us through a challenging year.
Thanks so much to all of you for your help and support so far this
year!
We still have a couple of weeks to go on this journey though, so
I wanted to give you some highlights from our previous captains'
meetings to help you communicate with your teams, in case any of you
have missed anything. Here are the items to remember:
Dates to remember:

May 14 -- Relay Day
at Culver's. Culver's donates 10 percent of its proceeds for the
day (10:30 a.m.-10 p.m.) to the Relay For Life of Logan County.
-
May 15 -- Bank
Night at Regions Bank in Lincoln. T-shirts will be handed out at
that time.
