Over the last several months, I worked with my dear friend Betty and many other dedicated souls to organize and host a "Rally For The Cure" October 27 at Forsyth Country Club. As co-chairs, Betty and I coordinated the nine hole ladies Captain's Choice golf tournament followed by a Silent Auction and luncheon. A record breaking 120 women shared a day of love, friendship and hope for the vision of the Susan G. Komen Foundation-a world without breast cancer. The community support of sponsors and donors allowed our Rally committee to donate all monies raised directly to the Komen and its local Triad affiliate. We were so proud to triple the monies raised in past events for a total of $ 21,000 for breast cancer awareness and prevention. This experience showed the true power of combining creativity, vision and lots of time and hard work from a group of dedicated friends to achieve a worthwhile goal. This was my "aha" moment for the year !
