Updates from the Committee Meeting

The Relay of Life has announced a statewide goal of 1900 new teams for this month. Our relay currently has 37 teams registered with 47 sites being used.

There are still three committee positions that need to be filled. They include team recruitment, team retention, and public relations. So, if you know anyone that might be interested, pass the word along.

The American Cancer Society is looking for people to participate in the third Cancer Prevention Study(CPS-3). Anyone between the ages of 30 and 65 who has never been diagnosed with cancer can join the study. The goal of the study is to help determine factors that cause or prevent cancer. You can enroll at the Relay for Life or Latrobe on June 20, 2009. For more information visit http://www.cancer.org/cps3

The Relay is still doing a memory book this year that will contain ads. If you know anyone that might like to place an ad, I can get you a form. Ad book pages are 8.5"x11" and the prices are the following.

• full page - $200
• half page - $100
• quarter page - $75
• business card ad - $50
• patron ad (includes one luminaria) - $25

All ads must be turned in by July 10, 2009 to Lois Sabol.

If you know anyone that might be interested in Look Good ... Feel Better, the 2009 dates are April 20, May 18, June 15, July 20, and August 17th at the Robert E Eberly Pavilion in Uniontown. Pre-registration is required by calling 1-800-227-2345.
