Final Meeting

Last night, the committee met to discuss the pros and cons of this year's Relay for Life. We also had some pizza and talked about the fun times and how many of us don't remember the night. A rule was made that people need to nap during the night next year or at least get up and walk around. We made a large list of pros and only have one con, Some pros were the paper lanterns, the theme laps, and the bonfire. The paper lanterns were a good addition to the luminaria ceremony, except we needed to give more direction. Many of the committee members had lanterns they wanted to set off so there was a shortage of lighters for the others with the lanterns. The theme laps were set by Julie and they consisted of an hour activity in each lap. Some examples were water balloons, three legged lap, and the egg holding lap. These got great feedback because people were kept active during the laps instead of just walking. We really loved the bonfire, not only because it kept us warm, but because we got s'mores and it added a nice ambiance. Another thing that was discussed at this meeting was next year's theme. We established that is was not fair to hold a vote for the theme without the new committee members, but many voted with my theme of 'Survivor'! I have created challenges for a whole Survivor challenge during the night so it should be fun. Also, the theme definitely incorporates another bonfire. The official vote will either be at the end of the week or at the beginning of next year. Until then: Outlive, Outwill, and Outlast Cancer.
