Pink Ribbon
You didn't see a post from me on Sunday or last night because Sunday the temperature and humidity cooled down so that I finally felt like doing some work around the house! I was busy, busy on Sunday!
Then last night, after work I went to Nemadji Golf Course for our ACS's 9th Annual Pink Ribbon Golf Tournament. We have this every year and the funds are restricted to Breast Cancer Research. My husband, son Rob, and two of Bob's golfing buddies golfed in the tournament. I joined them for the dinner and program that started at 5. The guys all had a wonderful time. We try to grow this event each year, (this year was a bit smaller than last, but next year will be better)...however, those that participated really enjoyed it. The dinner was delicious, and the Silent Auction was fun. For the program we had two Breast Cancer survivors speak, and they did a wonderful job. The program also educated everyone on what the donor's dollar goes to, and to let them know that by donating to ACS, they are helping not only to fund breast cancer research, but also programs that help those that are going through this horrible disease, like "I Can Cope" and "Reach to Recovery" programs and our "Navigator" program.
This event is the last one for this fiscal year for one of the Community Coordinators that I support at my job. Her relays are done also. Now, we will start all over working on 2008 events! But, she and I will be able to breathe for at least a week or two before starting on them!
The other Community Coordinator that I support has her Ely Relay For Life this coming Friday,
and she starts the '08 season with Moose Lake's Relay the first Friday of Sept. So, life is still hectic for her.
