We now have a store on the Relay website at http://www.uga.edu/relay/store/
You can buy Relay T-shirts, actual event tickets, and luminaries at the store.
ALSO, teams creating T-shirts for the contest will be allowed to sell their shirts on this site, as well!!!!!
All proceeds raised from your items on the store will go to your team total!

After the team captain's/ general info meeting on February 11th, we will be having our HUGE letter writing campaign!!
It will start at 8pm in Caldwell Room 204
There will be free food, music and other entertainment from the exec board
What is in the letters?

This is one of our primary means of fund raising, and all the money you raise goes strait to your team's total!!
We have a goal of each participant providing us with 7 letter and 7 e-mail addresses!
We have also set a goal for each participant to raise AT LEAST $100

This means if each person you send a letter to sends in $10, you will have surpassed this goal!!

If you want your letters to be more personal, you can write your own letter to be included with the others HOWEVER:

YOU MUST ALSO GIVE US A STAMP FOR EACH ADDRESS!
This is because we use bulk mail, and they will not send letters in bulk that weigh differently

COME TO THE TEAM CAPTAIN'S MEETING ON FEB.11, TURN IN YOUR LETTERS, AND HELP STUFF LETTERS!
Email them to this e-mail account or any executive board member's email account (can be found on uga.edu/relay)
Physically give them to an executive board member
