More fun Stuff...

Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I have had A LOT going on. So our Relay is really picking up now. We are going to have some big (local) name people at our Relay. Just announced yesterday we are going to have an emcee from a local news station with hopefully a co emcee who is an anchor for the morning news in Oklahoma City. Then we now for sure can say this too the two guys from Cordell that was on the Amazing Race is going to be there as well!!!! I am so happy I can't even see strait at all. There is more to come but I am so happy with my committee this year. They are pulling every string that they have to make this Relay the best in the WORLD. Well maybe not the World but the best we have ever had.

Our upcoming event is getting big too. We are now doing 10x10 booths outside, there will be a jump house for the kiddos, AND more cars then I ever thought there would be. I can't wait for May 3rd to get here. I was very scared at first but it is coming together better then I thought it would. Cassi, she is from the Relay in Custer County, has made our sign for our "Family Fun Day and Car Show."

 
She did an amazing job on it. It has everything that we are going to be doing. The 5K is coming together as well and Rachel is doing an awesome job. Now I am working on the Paint the County Purple. It is not coming together like I want but I know it will. I am having a hard time picking the prices for the window painting. But again it will come together.
 
 
So some of the fundraisers that we have going on outside of the Family Fun Day and the Relay Event is...Our John Deere Tractor drawing...
 
 
This little Fundraiser is a WONDERFUL one. We got the money donated from a local oil field company (Bronco Oil Services) and then just sell the tickets for $1.00 a piece. I have already sold 50+ ticket in one month and I am not trying at all.
 
The other thing that we are doing is at a local gas station they are giving us a % of the money they make off of soda drinks in May. Last year we make over $500 dollars doing this. It is wonderful and a very easy, do nothing fundraiser.
 
I also have our 2013 T-Shirts on sell. I was told about a company in OKC that helps out nonprofits and they are WONDERFUL!!!! http://cherrytreeworks.com/ Cherry Tree Works...
 
 
We are selling these $10 a shirt (+$2.00 for 2X and larger). Super easy and fun!!
 
This year is already off to a good start. We have raised over $500!!! And we are not done yet.
 
 
 
So the other thing I wanted to talk about it Cassi's February Relay Challenge...
 
 
This idea was great because you are always putting something about Relay on your facebook page this way. I loved reading others ideas and facts. It has really helped me get into the Relay Sprit!!
 
And the last thing I want to talk about is the NEWSLETTER idea that I put up last time. It has made it's rounds on Facebook, Pinterest, and at meeting ALL over the place. I got the idea off line and just made my own. Last week I order post cards of it and they will be sent to the Survivors next month so even they will know what is going. They should be here any day and when they do I will be posting about them!!!
 


So for now I think that is all. I will try to keep this more up to date but for now....

LETS RELAY!!!!!
