Morgan County Residents QUASHing For Alzheimers

In response to a Smaller Indiana request for QUASHers to participate in the scavenger hunt to benefit Alzheimer’s research, a team(s) is forming comprised of Morgan County residents!

Thus far, myself-Nicki Laycoax of Squish Designs, and Jon Speer of Creo Quality are in the planning stages of our team! Our winnings, which would possibly be over $7,000, will be donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Morgan County!

Here are details if you’d like to get involved!

It’s $25 to register a team which covers t-shirts, BBQ after the event, as well as the materials to put the event together. Teams must be made up of no less than 2 and no more than 4. Ages 18 and up. She suggests that you make your team diverse in that you need a nice mixture of athleticism and intelligence/problem solving skills.

Team members must raise $200 each, 100% of which will go to Alzheimer’s support/research.

Prizes for best costume; $1,500. For each $250 that your team raises, your team name is thrown in a hat for a drawing for cash prizes. The winner of the Quash Scavenger Hunt receives $7,000! The prizes are made possible because of an awesome sponsorship by Clear Channel.

The hunt begins at Celebration Plaza at the White River State Park at 10 a.m. It will last approximately 2.5 hours. After the hunt is over, there will be a BBQ as well as an awards ceremony. Bring a map of Downtown Indy, pencils, and money for public transportation.

After Quash is over, you are able to purchase tickets for $10 off regular admission for BrewHaHa, which is a fundraiser for the Phoenix Theater.

To get additional information and to register your team, visit the QUASH website.

Hello Morgan County!

Hi! I am Nicki Laycoax. I have been a Morgan County resident since I was 10 years old; since 1988. My parents ran the Hall Store & Deli from 1988 until the doors closed in 1996 due to lack of business. I think that my passion for business and this great county that I live in, comes from my responsibilities as a child in the old store… What great lessons I learned during those 8 years. It helped me develop my awareness of the importance of excellent customer service as well as the trials and tribulations of being a business owner.

Since my days in Hall, I’ve gotten to experience life outside Morgan County. I have worked in Indianapolis for Community Health Network and the Department of Workforce Developement for the State of Indiana. I’ve met many, many great people along my path. One of which is my partner, George Roots. We are in business together providing web services doing business as our company, Squish Designs.

Being that my main role in Squish is Marketing, I am always looking for new and effective ways to network. Along my path in my quest for such, I discovered Smaller Indiana. This is an online community that has been growing at a very exponential rate. In March the 1,000th member was celebrated, and just two months later, May 2008 we have over 2,000 members! The reason that I am writing about Smaller Indiana, is that this was the start of the Morgan County Community Days.

I met Jon Speer of Creo Quality through Smaller Indiana. Jon’s company, Creo Quality, my company, Squish Designs, and Jill Hardings company, Boundless Designs, are the founders of these events that are being organized to revitalize Morgan County. We have created a website for everyone to view and get more information: morgancountycommunity.com. The proceeds from these events are being donated to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Morgan County.

This blog will not only be updated with information on the Community Days and all that they are doing for our youth and our community, but also, notable accomplishments and events that are taking place in Morgan County!
