"Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful event the Willamette Valley relay was. It was two of my friends first time doing a relay and they can’t stop talking about it. We are so looking forward to it next year. Keep up the good work" "The 2006 WVR Relay was, once again, a great experience. The weather cooperated, the course was well marked, the volunteers were outstanding and the guys on motorcycles were omnipresent. Thanks, Judy, for giving us these wonderful two days."
