2010 Off to a Great Start
Yes, it's time for us to start (or continue) planning for the 17th Komen Arkansas Race for the Cure. My mind is already spinning.
You should already have the date for the Race, but just in case--October 16, 2010. I do expect to see you there!
Your Race Chair this year is Donna Easley. I've worked with Donna as long as I have been involved with the Race and know that you are going to love her if you don't already. She's a fantastic lady! She started out volunteering with Komen as one of you--team captain for AT&T. Well, I guess it was Southwestern Bell back then. Anyway, look for a fun year!
I am also pleased to announce that I will be working closer than ever with Donna this year as her Co-Chair. I have SO very much to learn before I chair the 2011 Race. WHAT?!!!!!!!
No, I am not deserting you! There are several changes taking place on our side for Teams, but I don't think you're going to be affected by many of those changes. The one that will affect you is that Alana Harris has agreed to chair the Teams Committee and to be your main contact. Many of you have had contact with Alana over the past few years as she has helped answer emails, etc. I will be here to help her this year so that she can handle it all in 2011. (BTW, Alana says her name rhymes with banana; I remember it by taking the t's out of Atlanta.)
Alana with her precious twin daughters.
She also has an older son, so she is one busy lady.
On that note, we are also looking for someone to assist and learn along with Alana. We need someone that can answer questions over the phone or email without getting in trouble with their job and that has at least a working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Access. Give me a yell if you have an interest.
I also wanted to let you know that we have set the date for the Team Captain Party--Sunday, July 18. Please put it on your calendar now and make plans to attend.
Would love to hear from you.
Hugs,
Jill
