Eyeball this "good looking" bunch!
We did the Toby Keith song, "I Love This Bar". Candi was Toby, Carol was a hooker, Darlene was a biker, Sharon was a drunk, Sandra was a psycho hitchiker, Chris was a trucker, Debbie was "girl next door dressed up like a movie star", Cassie was a redneck, & I was a LOSER! We had a blast!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! Calhoun County is known all over the Country... Everybody wants to know" Where is this County"... Well we are can located smack dab in the middle of North Mississippi and what a great County it is.... We are all committed and dedicated to helping find the cause and cure of cancer. We always hear about Meridian, Jackson, Tenn. Tacoma, Wa. Now they can add Calhoun Co. MS to the map... I have to add Ms, because there is a Calhoun in Alabama and I don't want anyone outside of Mississippi to get confused...(smile) Calhoun is #1 in the State and #8 in the Division.... Won the All American Relay Award, State, Division and NATIONAL!!!!!!! WE raised $ 116,824.28. Up from
$ 91,000.00 in 2005!!! The Calhoun County Relay for Life has it going on
We have a great group of volunteers in this County. Carolyn and Mother Relay and Little Rudy Tooty. Carol C. has made it a point to singlehanded fight for the cure! You should see her numbers from the past 3 years! This gal is on a roll. Good thang her husband is a trucker 'cos she just keeps on keeping on! Darlene used her relay work to help her overcome some serious pain in her life. We all know her heartache and stood there for support. Candy will be the Next American Idol after her performance at the Relay Reunion. You go girl! Hit me with your best shot is your song!!!! Dang what talent!!
WE may live in a poor county with very few people but there is not a one of us that has not been touched in someway by cancer. No way could we turn our backs on our brothers and sisters that need this money for research and development. I personally thank you for all you do and I know all the other Survivors do also.
So for 2007 our goal is raise $122,000 and make our little 'star' shine so brightly that we can be seen from space!!!
