Thank you so much for another DELIGHTFUL meeting last night. I marvel at how close our group has grown. It is wonderful to see how much you care for each other and how close we're all becoming. I watched last night as as you interacted with each other in our "Build A Soup" activity and it just warmed my heart. Wasn't last night's meeting FUN? I love it when we can laugh and share. For those of you who have the information about the "soups" your group created, including the CLEVER names that you came up with for them, I would really appreciate it if you'd e-mail that information to me so we can add it to our blog! The soups all sounded DELICIOUS and I seriously think we should make them. If any of you have other great soup recipes, please send them to me, too. THANK YOU. I had requests from several of you who want the list of optional ingredients that were used last night, and I'll definitely add that list to our blog soon, too.
I have GREAT news! Our "Weight Walkers" t-shirts arrived this morning, so I will have them for you Saturday morning at Liberty Park. I will be at the park by 8:00 am and I will stay at the Weight Watchers booth (I believe the booth will be at the southeast corner of the park, close to 700 East) and will distribute the shirts there. If you didn't order one of our team shirts, and you want a t-shirt, the American Cancer Society will be selling dark blue shirts that you can purchase on Saturday. You don't need to buy a shirt to participate--and there's no registration fee. But, of course, the ACS will gratefully accept any donations you feel you can make to this very worthy cause. If you have ANY questions, please let me know. I received the following message from the ACS with the "details" you'll need.

Dear Debra
It's the day we've all been looking forward to - and it's finally here (almost)! The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® of Salt Lake City, Utah will take place - Rain or Shine - this Saturday, October 11th at Liberty Park. The park is located at 600 East 1000 South, Salt Lake City.
We can't wait to see you there! Here are a few day of reminders:
- The walk will take place rain or shine... Because Breast Cancer happens rain or shine too!
- Registration will begin at 8:00 am
- Event begins at 9:00 am
- It can take between 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours to walk the 4.2 miles route
- Each individual should bring their own donations they have collected to the registration tent to turn it in
- Unfortunately, we cannot provide the number of walkers and money raised by each company. This event is too large for us to be able to track that information.
- Parking is available around the park itself but is limited
- CARPOOL! CARPOOL! CARPOOL!
- Please secure all your valuables

Before we get together to honor our survivors and celebrate the progress we've made in the fight against breast cancer, we want to thank you one more time for lending your time and energy to the American Cancer Society. There are not enough words to express our appreciation!
Why is Making Strides a success? Because of people like you!
So thank you - and see you this weekend!
Sincerely,
Your American Cancer Society
Utah Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
Okay, that's it for today. I'll update our blog later on this week, so be watching for that ... AND REMEMBER ...
HAVE A "SOUPER" WEEK (you knew it was coming, right?)
Debra
P.S. See you Saturday morning (unless you're getting married that morning--Shae and Kelly--then you're excused)!
