This Saturday was the 2008 Relay for Life here in Redding. We had a Walgreens team set up and had someone on the track 24 hours. I walked with Caerys from 11-noon, and we had a blast. There was a great turnout! I even went back out after work and walked from midnight to 1am. Our team captain, Michele, and her husband Ricky stayed at the relay for the whole 24 hours, what troopers!!

We also had a Walgreens booth with merchandise donated by the company for us to sell and donate the profits to the charity! We have been raising money in all three stores in town over the last few months by being allowed to wear jeans on Friday's for a $5 donation to the charity. We have raised quite a bit of money, and had a great time doing it!
When I went back at night I lit a luminary in honor of Grandma Clist also. It was too dark for pictures so I didn't get one....but there was one done in her memory.
When we move to Wisconsin, I would like to try to get my new store involved also, it is really a great cause, and there were a LOT of survivors there, which is definately something you like to see!!
