The countdown begins!

As of today, there are only seven weeks left until the Winnipeg Relay For Life! That may sound like a long way to go, but this time of year tends to go by faster then we notice!

The spring brings with the the end of the fiscal year, making it a busy time of year at work for many people. The warmer weather brings with it sports practices as we come to the beginning of a new sports season. People start training for marathons, gardening season begins, and evening walks are enjoyed by many. With it being such an enjoyable time of year, some of you may forget that Relay For Life is now less than two months away!

For those of you who are still registering teams, getting new members signed up and fundraising, take a moment to think about how you can tie in your spring acitvities with your Relay For Life fundraising.

We already have a few teams share their fundraising ideas with us. Here are a few suggestions:

- have a bbq lunch at work
- contact your local Sobey's, Safeways, & Wal-Marts to set up a hot dog sale outside their stores on a weekend
- have a garage/yard sale. Get your spring clenaing and fundraising done in one shot!
- have a ice cream sundae sale at work. Buy the ice cream and toppings, pick a warm day to set up your make-your-own sundae station at work for a minimum donation
- have a car wash
- have a sports tournament


So get your team together and plan a fundraiser for sometime in the next seven weeks! Because before you know it, it will be May 28th!
