As you might know, craft fairs/sales are something of a Team Dearborn staple! We've got some very talented people on our team, so we do a lot of events like this. Next weekend, we'll be at the St. Mel's craft show in Dearborn Heights. There's no admission fee, and they've got over 50 local crafters! There's also a bake sale, which is always a good thing. Here's the important info:

Getting started for 2013!
The 2013 Relay for Life officially started on September 6, and Team Dearborn has already started fundraising! If you've been following us here (or on Facebook), you know we've been hard at work since June. Between our pub crawl, bowling fundraiser, and Homecoming, we've already raised over $4,000 for the American Cancer Society! We're working even harder to bring awareness of everything the ACS has to offer, and we're finding many different ways to do that. We've started a Twitter account to make it even easier to connect with us and stay updated on our events, and we've started a mailing list to keep people informed of our events via email (email teamdearborncares@gmail.com if you want to get on that mailing list! We promise not to email you eighty times a day or give anyone else your email address. We're very responsible).
You can check out our official Relay for Life page for full information on our progress or to make a donation. This year, we're trying to raise $27,000 for the cause. I know it's an odd number for a goal, but we've got two very good reasons for it. Number one, that's how much Dr. Gordy Klatt raised back in 1985 when he did the very first Relay for Life. The second reason is much more personal to our team. You might know that we lost a teammate back in June. Marlene absolutely loved Relay, and was truly at the heart of this team. This year would have been her 27th year as a breast cancer survivor, and we thought that making $27,000 our goal was a great way to honor her.
In true Team Dearborn tradition, we've already got events lined up! Full posts with all the details you could ask for will be coming soon, but here's what we've got confirmed right now. On September 29, we'll be at the St. Mel's church craft fair in Dearborn Heights. On October 13, we'll be at the open house at Fire Station #2 on Outer Drive. We're also working on putting together another scavenger hunt/road rally, and, of course, we'll be having our Ugly Christmas Sweater Pub Crawl in December! It should be a fun fall for Team Dearborn, so watch this space for more info!
