Almost a week has past since the American Cancer Society's New England Relay For Life Summit in Braintree, MA but I'm still buzzing with ideas and information that I soaked up in the two days I was there. My dad and I were the representatives of the NordicStyle event and we showed our nordic spirit with gogges, winter hats and mittens dangling from our clothing. We were recognized by folks all day from all over the northeast with comments like "there are those goggles, we've been looking for you all day!" They recognize us there for our crazy tradition of showing our winter spirit even while sitting in stifling hotel conference rooms all day. We are the only winter event and we are absolutely proud of it and want everyone to know it. We provoke people to ask why we have a mitten clipped to our belt or why we're the only one where a winter hat or florescent pink goggles. We want to share our love for our uniqueness, so go ahead and ask!
Three words we heard constantly throughout the two day was Growth. Potential. Quality. These are the three things that make an event successful and that keep bringing people back. Things that we work to improve on constantly.
As the two days were packed full of information and networking opportunities, I still have some sorting to do to make sense of it all, so definitely more will come later on the new ideas that are crammed into my brain and my notebook.
As for coming events! Next Thursday is our official Kick-off to our Relay season! It will also be loaded with information for cancer survivors, returning and new team captains as well as current and prospective sponsors. We'll also be raffling off a set of Tubb's snowshoes graciously donated by Lenny's Shoe and Apparel. So join us for lots of food, fun and great information, oh and of course all the lovely committee members brimming with Nordic and Relay Spirit!! Come Join the party!!
