There will be a short meeting at Merrilee's house to collect all the money for the "Relay for Life Cancer Walk".  We will also be finalizing any plans.  Keep thinking about ideas for decorating our tent.  Remember, we are the Red Hot Mamas.  If you have not ordered your red sweatshirt, call Robin with your size.
 

Relay for Life Info from Robin
Pretty much all the money that is to be collected for the Relay for Life should be collected and turned into Robin by Tuesday, May 15.  All the luminaria money also needs to be turned in by that date also.  We can still collect money and luminaria money and turn it in the day of the event but they are encourging that most of the money be turned in before hand.  I signed us up for pictures at 7:40 p.m. on Friday night.  So if you would like to be in the picture please be there at that time.  Last year the club purchased luminarias for seven of our Las Madres friends.  So far we can only come up with 6 (Ruth Eastman, Allen Corral, Gary Nevoli, Alene Brown, Wanda Tsafos and Andi Livak).  Please help us with the name of that missing 7th person!  Give Robin a call if you have any questions.
