[Steppes] crazy idea and slightly off-topic

[jack spinks]

And that is the Spirit of the Steppes that some say has been missing. I think it is alive and well.   Who else will step forward to make such a generous commitment?  Surely there are others out there?  Any households?

Well, given that I am recovering from such surgery right now and there are a number of others within the Barony that have or had cancer at one time of another, I like the idea.  It will be awhile before I am back up to full speed but count me in.  It would be great if the barony got to be known for doing a few public service things as well.  Who knows?  Maybe we can even get a team in some kind of garb or the like that makes sure we are recognized as a group.

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.
