[Steppes] crazy idea and slightly off-topic

[Karen Calhoun]

In accordance with Saqra's challenge, an idea hit me today that I thought that I would throw out to the group and see what kind of interest I can stir up.
 
The American Cancer Society along with several cities sponsor Relay for Life.  It is a celebration of survivors and a chance to remember those lost to cancer.  It is a fundraiser for the ACS but also a chance for people to get together and spend the night sharing their memories and hopes for the future.
 
I was wondering if the Barony would be interested in getting a team together....  Garland has their relay the first weekend of June.  Other cities hold theirs at other times.  I know that Plano has one as well as McKinney.  Each team member would be required to raise about $35 (I think that's the min) and of course there is no max.  The event starts about 7pm and ends at 7am.  The event is held at a track and the team is required to have at least 1 member walking at all times.  There is entertainment throughout the evening.  I thought that it would be really cool for our team to dress in garb to promote the SCA too.
 
Anyway, let me know what you think.  If we can get a group of about 10 folks together, we'll see about getting this rolling.
