After the Opening Ceremonies and the Survivors Lap at 6:00 pm on Friday, June 20th, team members can hit the track. There will be people from the team at the track the whole time, and all team members are welcome to camp out at the event, or show up whenever. Our team captain, Katie, thought that it would be good to have general walking shift times, but have the "sign up" be more informal, so I've posted a "poll" on the right side-bar so people can choose their preferred walking shift. (If you can only walk one hour, then choose the shift that includes that hour.)
Take a look, and take a second to vote on the walking time that works for you. You can choose more than one shift as well. If you're very flexible on when you can walk, this will let you choose a time when a lot of team members are walking, or when nearly no one is and we need someone on the track! It's a fairly informal way for us all to know when we'll be heavy or light on walkers.
Also... the "theme" for the event is "Carnival," and teams are encouraged to have a booth with an additional fund raiser (related to the theme) going on. Katie's got some ideas for this, but if you've got a good idea (you know, like maybe we need a cotton candy booth, or a pie toss booth, balloon animals, ooh or all three!), add it to the comments or tell Jamie or Katie. Thanks!!

I would like to personally encourage everyone to participate or donate. We are the second place team for donations! (Only $600 behind) Wouldn't it be fun to be NUMBER ONE?? I don't see my Brother-Kenny or Beth signed up yet. Your kids are participating. If you know of anyone else who would like to sign up and walk encourage them to do so!!
Jamie,
Nick is signing up tomorrow along with Katelyn. We are hoping to pull through on the donations. My competitive side in me wants us to be number one, so let's all bring in the money!!!
Happy Tuesday!

About Beth - I discovered that she's been signed up for the Relay for quite awhile, but the bad User Interface of the Relay web site caused her to be signed up as a solo walker rather than on your team. The Help Desk people told her they couldn't just switch her, that she should just sign up again, which is just silly. They should be able to just add her to your team. Ah well. She is signed up though - she signed up before she added the kids.
And, on the competitive note, I'm challenging all team members to beat my current 8 pledges, and nearly $400 raised to date. Of course, I just bumped my "goal" to $500, and continue the pledge drive...
Katrina,
Thanks again for your wonderful post and update about the Relay! You are really getting this team going and I sure do appreciate it! Great idea about the poll. I hope people will feel free to come walk anytime they are able to. Only a couple of weeks until the big event! Can hardly wait...
Katie
