Our team really competes each year in this event, and for the last two years they ve come in second place, so this was a great feat for them. Team members are Gary Kania, Daniel Kania, Jerry Shreiner, Tim Watts, Sheldon Day, Rusty Swanson, and Russ Smith. Debra Wood, Thomasville Relay coordinator, said the corporate sponsors contributions are a large part of what makes the event so successful. Corporate sponsors this year were Clarke-Washington Electric, First United Security Bank, McDonald s of Thomasville, Weyerhaeuser, Alabama Power, Norman s Foods, Yellowhammer Production, and Linden Lumber Thomasville operations. Providing a setting and refreshments for our team captains meetings were The Garden, the Delmar, and Pizza Inn.
Team captains deserve a lot of credit for their hard work.
These individuals organize their teams, rally and encourage their members, delegate the various jobs associated with putting up the tent site, plan fundraisers, and just do a whole lot of work to make the Relay happen.
