Hey guys!

Please read the forwarded message. You can ignore the first two sections (Logistics Stuff/Survivors) but the rest talks about free food and important rules and regulations of the event. They have glow-in-the-dark dodgeball, free pizza, free hot chocolate, etc...

Please bring fun things to do at Relay! (example: footballs, cards, boardgames, etc...) You'll be getting full service credit for the entire time that you're physically present at Toomey Fields. However, there will be A LOT of down time. I only have 2 board games so it'll be awesome if you guys can bring whatever entertainment you have. Last year, we played cards, football, and boardgames for about 6 hours. While you're sitting at our fundraising table and selling leis, you'll have many opportunities to bond with other ARCC members! You can bring homework too (If you want!).

Lastly, make sure you guys check the weather forecast and dress appropriately. During past relays, the weather was very hot during the day and really cold at night.

Soe
