    Roseanne Foster Mickens Says:

    • There will be special parking for all survivors – We have made up yellow cards with (SURVIVOR) on them. Please place them on your dashboard or under wiper on the driver’s side.
      To get to parking area, you will enter at the traffic light in front of Oaklawn and proceed through the tunnel.
      The guys from Teen Challenge will be helping with parking and we want to make sure you get to the correct spot.
      We will have golf carts available to pick up survivors who are not able to walk to the registration area, where the Lake Hamilton Steppin Wolves & Coach Chris Groves will be there to check your name off and assist.
      We encourage all survivors to register online which will expedite the process the night of Relay. We had a line form at registration last year, and we don’t want anyone to have to stand in the sun too long. Especially as hot as it was! We are hoping for the weather to be a little cooler this year! There will be chairs available for survivors to sit and register, if they were not able to do it ahead of time. They can type Relay for Life – Garland County, Arkansas in the search box. Be sure to include (Arkansas)!
      After survivors check in, they will be directed to do the Hands for Hope, with the Lakeside GoldDuster’s & Coach Tonja Bolding assisting. Wipes will be provided to clean hands from the paint. This sheet will later become a quilt for 2012. Survivors will get their medal and proceed on to the Genesis tent for t-shirt and snacks.
      Not feeling well, just had surgery or chemo? Not a Problem!
      We will have reserved seating for those survivors who need carts. Those chairs will be the first two rows in the Genesis tent (located beside the registration area). Some of our Steppin Wolves and committee members will be available to assist in getting you on and off the carts. 
      We ask that Walkers line up behind the carts. We sometimes have more than 12 survivors who need carts and we need the carts back in order to pick up the 2nd group.
      We want this to be a fun, pleasant, uplifting experience for survivors because this walk is to honor them!
      The Survivor Committee is as follows:
      Roseanne Mickens – rjmickens@cablelynx.com - 
      Charlotte Davis – charlotte.davis@weyerhaeuser.com - 627-4751
      Susan Rima – Susan.Rima@Mercy.Net – 622-0180
      Pam McDaniel – Pamela.McDaniel@Mercy.Net – 

      The luminary ceremony begins at dark (around 9 PM). If you wish to purchase one, you may do so online, or you may contact Kathy.watson@weyerhaeuser.com . A regular sack is $5.00 each. They may be purchased the night of Relay, but these will be handwritten instead of printed. All names will be in ABC order on the PowerPoint presentation. 
      Be sure to check out the tents, some sell food and other items as fundraiser for Relay!
