| Relay For Life Sponsors
Needed |
|
We invite you to join
the Cape Coral community in the continuing battle against
cancer as a 2008 Sponsor for the American Cancer Society's
Relay for Life. This event will provide an effective way for
you to reach your market while helping create awareness about
cancer.
May we count on your
corporate support this year? Over the last six (6) years, with
the help of our sponsors and the community, the Cape Coral
Relay raised
$ 1,092,316.00 for the fight against
cancer.
The American Cancer
Society conducts Relay for Life throughout the United States.
Six years ago Relay for Life became the country's biggest
single fundraising event. Relay for Life is not just about
raising dollars: the aspect of community, survivorship and
caring is a combination unique to the American Cancer
Society.
This year's event will
be held at Mariner High School on April 4&5, 2008. The
theme is "Movie Magic". Cancer survivors are invited to
begin the Relay by walking the Survivor's Lap. Then members of
the teams take the track throughout the entire 18 hours. A
Luminary Ceremony is held where candles are lit in remembrance
of those who have lost their battle with cancer and in honor
of survivors.
Please look over the
enclosed materials by clicking here.
We
are looking to finalize our sponsorship commitments by
December 31, 2007. If you wish to contact us, please call
936-1113, ext. 113. |

What is
the organization of a ship? First see the
organizational chart.
Basically, the ship is run and organized by the Sea
Scouts with the overall guidance and assistance of the Cape
Coral Power Squadron.
The Power Squadron has appointed a "ship's committee"
that provides this guidance and assistance to the Sea Scout's
skipper. The
skipper is the key officer of the Sea Scouts Ship. The skipper provides
advise and direction to the Boatswain and the Sea Scouts who
actually plan and conduct the program.
When will
we meet Depending on the
Sea Scouts availability, the current plan is to meet on the
1st and 3rd Monday of every month from
7-9 PM.
Parents:
We encourage
parents to join the Power Squadron, participate in the
Boat Smart course, interact with the Sea Scouting initiative
and to participate in the Power Squadron educational and
social activities.

Bob's Blog
Bob Knickman, Special Events Director
Thanks to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday this
week. I can't believe I'm 49! If it wasn't for the
receding hair line, increasing waist line, hearing loss, bad
eye sight, grey hair, loss of energy and fading memory, I'd
feel like I'm
20!
We are one
week out from Riverside Bank's Celebrate Cape Coral make sure
you are watching our Media Sponsor FOX 4 next week, we will be
live on the morning show. They are running our commercials
now, keep watching to catch it. We do need more people
to step to the plate for volunteers, time is running out and
we need to finalize.
We still have banner space and vendor space available,
these are especially good for any politician who is running,
there will be lots of hands to kiss and babies to shake.
I would like to thank the Cape Coral Community Foundation
for taking care of all the parade stuff, it's a big job and
they are doing a great job at it. So if you want to be a part
of Celebrate Cape Coral make sure you contact me and we'll
make it happen, have a great weekend and see you next week at
Celebrate! Don't Forget to visit http://www.eventscapecoral.com/agents/69999/index.aspFor more information.
