Captain's Meeting set for May 15

Important organizational meeting at Fanshawe College
Beth Boulard and the team recruitment sub-committee for Relay For Life have an important agenda typed up and ready for the next Captain's Night meeting on Wednesday, May 15 at 6:30 at Fanshawe College campus on Finkle Street in Woodstock.
The annual Relay For Life for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is June 14-15 at College Avenue Secondary School, so quite obviously Wednesday marks the 1-month deadline to motivate teams and sign up as many participants as possible. The goal is 68 teams.
With Boston Pizza on board as event sponsor, the team recruitment committee has a new corporate friend to assist in both attracting new teams and retaining past teams. Megan Porter and her Boston Pizza (431 Norwich Ave in Woodstock) crew are contributing a special team promo package. 
The Captain's Meeting is important as teams are suggested to register well in advance, but also select a camp site, set up their bank night schedule, and acquire many motivational tips and fundraising ideas. Captains learn about something new this year -- a captain's lap at midnight to recognize this integral group of volunteers. 
May 15, 6:30 p.m. at Fanshawe College
If you visit the Facebook page 'Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life in Woodstock', you can read many of the newsletters already posted on-line. Be sure to become a 'member' of our Facebook group. For example, the menu featuring Boston Pizza, Swiss Chalet, Tim Hortons, and Scott's No Frills has already been posted. Keep in mind, if you're a team member this year, maybe next year you will want to be a team captain.
A Dream Team
There is also something called a "Dream Team' and you can learn about the parameters about reaching this level of participation.

Contact Beth Boulard -- team recruitment committee: ebaboulard@rogers.com . . . or call the CCS office weekdays at (519) 537-5592.
