2 New Members!

Thanks to Becky Dunnell and Patti Kappel for signing up this weekend!
Here's how you can join us!

JOIN OUR TEAM! Carolina Sue's Crew would love to have you join us for the St. Louis Komen's Race for the Cure! This will be the 5th year for our team to come together for friends and loved ones to make a difference. Follow the link on the sidebar, enter Carolina Sue's Crew as the team you would like to join, and follow the instructions. EASY!


As a team, we meet at FKS at 8am and carpool downtown to casually stroll the streets of the city. We may stop for a bagel and a few pictures, whatever grabs you. Some walk, some run some just hang out. We are usually back at the store by 10-10:30. Some team members don't even walk. They just buzz by the store to pick up their shirts. This is EASY! Join the team. I will pick up your shirt and deliver it right to the store by Race Day. Walk or NOT!

Sign up on-line by NOON on MAY 22.

We look forward to seeing YOU there!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

to my MOM! I can't be with YOU for Mother's Day but you

know I LOVE YOU!
