A couple of weeks have passed since Rock County’s Relay for Life. I have taken a break and now am getting all the articles that were in the Star Herald (which I want to thank for the great coverage) into my scrapbook. When rereading the articles, it makes me think of the wonderful core committee members who took their jobs and went with them and who helped so much. Then there were the team captains and the teams who all worked so hard with fund-raisers. Each and every team was so unique in their way of working for the Relay and all the silent auction baskets were awesome as were all those who supported the Relay by bidding on them. Also, I want to recognize all the sponsors of the event and those who helped pay for the ad in the Announcer, again without your sponsorship the event would not have been as successful. Then there is the entertainment that shared their talents and Jerry Gladis, The Best Of, the DJ who kept everybody going until morning, each and every one of you added to the event so much, and for that I want to say thank-you. There were many exciting things that happened that night in my eyes. A few that stick in my mind were the survivors lap, Andraya Gacke cutting off 10 inches of her hair for the Locks of Love, the amount of money that was taken in and all the people that were present in spite of the weather. Oh, yes, the pink pots, too. In closing, I want to thank Nancy for co-chairing with me and each and everyone of you that had any part of the Relay for Life 2004.Glenda SchomackerLuverne
