Giving a Pink Shout out to a couple Frederick Blogger(s)

Most of you know that I am the online Chair for the Frederick Relay for Life (if not, you do now.) We had our first meeting last night for the 2008 Frederick County Relay for Life. (Website will be up at the end of the month) Our ACS staff member, Laurie Frey, asked if any of us knew that we had a Kick Ball League in Frederick County. Of course I did, because I read Frednet. (Frederick Maryland Online) One of the Authors and founder of Frednet, Guy, is an active member of the Frederick Adult Co-Ed Kickball Association.
She then let us know what the league did. They had a kickball event and raised $7,500 for Frederick County Relay for Life…Bravo. Laurie shared it with Frederick Relay and Urbana Relay for Life.
Guy writes an informative post about the local foods and news about Frederick. He helps residents keep a pulse on the happens around town. His co-author LizFrog continues to help with cancer awareness by making sure her readers know about the Pink Ribbon Project organized by the Downtown Frederick Partnership.
I just want to say thanks to LizFrog, Guy and his Kickball League for being a great asset to the community. (And maybe get them to sign up for a team or two at our walk in May) I will write again when the site is up and running. We are offering a discount to early bird registrations.

Thanks for the shout out! I am just a humble participant in FACKA, Jason Mecler and crew are the people who really make it tick (including the very good charity portion). Also, I have to point out that is was actually Lizfrog (the other blogger on FMO) that wrote about the Pink Ribbon Project activities. Thanks again!
Guy, thanks for clarifying. I corrected that error. LizFrog, Sorry.
Thank you both for your contribution and especially Jason and Crew…every little bit helps.
Bob, I like how you have the community thing going on. =) It’s everyday heroes such as these that make a difference for so many. LizFrog has the coolest name!
No problem!! I’m just happy to help get the message out. And let me join Guy by also thanking you for the shout out!
No problem what so ever!!! I am all about advocating!!! Thanks to you and Jim.
Mags, thanks for stopping by.. I missed you earlier. And you are right every little bit helps.. Did the BlogthatAteMiami go pink?
Good job to you and all. Thank you for raising awareness to these causes. Please keep up the Great Work!
What a great event! What impresses me about Relay is the amount of volunteers and participants from around the country. Do you guys do Purple Pelicans there? (Where people sponsor to have them “nest” on their yards for a number of days….it makes the community feel even more involved prior to the event).
Bob, I am ashamed to admit that I wouldn’t know how to do it. If you’d like a stab at it, I’ll give you the passcode =)
Avella, You do a fine job on your site too. Thanks for stopping by.
Ines, Ummm Purple Pelicans??? Where would one find Purple Pelicans? (I like the idea)
Maggie, I sent you an email.
Relay for life is a great time, and if anybody is considering participating but hasn’t, I strongly encourage you to give it a try. Contrary to how it may sound, there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer, regardless of your fitness or experience level. Really, it all comes down to a lot of caring and giving people spending the weekend together for a good cause.
FredRocks, Thanks for the words of encouragement. You are absolutely right we don’t care what shape you are in… This evening is about caring and sharing. Nobody keeps track of the number of laps. Most teams are there for the comraderie and eating, but always have at least one member walking the track. The on track fundraising events are fun.
