March Message to the VFRW Relay for Life VFRW Clubs, it is time to take a RWC leadership role in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. In 1994, the VFRW had the Relays for Life as a Community Services project . The same year, Relay for Life events began as the ACS’s “new signature fundraising event”, initiating a 24 hour relay, and focused on survivors of cancer. We have many of those survivors in the VFRW. Mark your calendars for the weekends of April through July 2008 (dates listed on the attached sheet by district) and start forming your teams today. Clubs Presidents and District Representatives could serve as co-leaders, organizing teams of 10-15 members, whose families and friends provide team representation throughout the 24 hour period. I will be following up by e-mail, (donnaadkins2000@yahoo.com) to answer your questions on forming teams in your district. Each Relay of Life event has informed monthly Team Captain meetings you can attend. Relay for Life National Web page is www.relayforlife.org/relay/findevent will locate dates nationally for you to attend with relatives and friends out of state. Registration fees are $10.00 and all participants will receive t-shirts and the gratification of helping to fight the disease. By joining at Relay, we celebrate life, friendship, and an opportunity to work to defeat cancer for future generations. Relay for life is a time to Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to demonstrate that cancer is non-political. Cancer has touched each of us in some way. Let’s unite across the state this April through July for Relay for Life. VFRW women interested in become a District Chair for ACS in District’s 6, 8 and 11 or are interested in being on the Action Cancer Network team please e-mail donnaadkins2000@yahoo.com for further information. Footnote: Thanks to Lucy Norment, Community Services Chairman who assisted with this memo and was community Services Chairman in 1994.

A
favor to ask, it only takes a minute....
Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is
having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to
meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an
underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their
site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in
the middle).
This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers
use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for
advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
