Well, I'm sorry to report that we did not get to make an upside down snowman. :( On Friday the weather warmed up and much of our snow melted. On top of that it rained a little that night, so there was not enough snow to make a snowman. We'll have to wait for another good storm. Unfortunately the weather men are saying that it's gonna be a while before we get another storm.
I got a phone call this morning from a friend/acquaintance. We have both participated in our local Relay for Life for several years. She called to ask if I would be on the committee again this year. I couldn't turn her down. She is such a sweet lady, and really just wants to get our Relay back to the basics and back to fun! She asked if I would be in charge of Survivorship or Team Captain Recruitment. I hate making phone calls, especially to ask people to do things, so I told her I would do Survivorship. I am excited to participate again.
The American Cancer Society's (ACS) Relay for Life (RFL) is an event that is dear to me. I got involved at least 8 years ago (I don't remember exactly when). My kids love to participate and got upset with me the one year I didn't. I believe that there will be a cure for cancer. Not a 'one size fits all' kind of cure, but advances are being made that are making the difference for certain types of cancers. RFL gives us a chance to remember my dad, grandparents, aunt and now my mother-in-law, who have all passed away from cancer or the effects of cancer treatments. The money raised stays here locally to fight back and continue research. We start each Relay with a dinner and program to celebrate all of our local cancer survivors. (A person is considered a survivor from the moment they are diagnosed!) This is what I will be over seeing this year. For more information, go to this link:
