February 10, 2016 - Extra! Extra! Read all about it! For the first time ever the Relay For Life of Shelby County and their annual Survivor Dinner have been scheduled for the same night on May 13, 2016. It will be held at the Windham Civic Center....that's right it will be an inside event...also another first.
The Survivor Dinner will be held from 5pm to 7pm with the Relay's first ceremony of the evening, the Survivor/Caregiver Ceremony, starting at 7:15pm and our closing ceremony scheduled for 11pm. This is the 11th annual Relay For Life of Shelby County and we hope that everyone will come help us celebrate our Survivors and Caregivers and remember all of those we have lost to cancer.
I am proud to live in a county that supports the fight against this horrible disease. The American Cancer Society has made great strides in researching and developing new treatments for all cancers. Please come support the Relay and our fight against cancer.
Our first planning committee meeting this year will be on Monday, February 22 at 5:30pm. If you would be interested in volunteering your time and energy, we are always looking for new people to help us fight cancer. If you would like more information about volunteering or setting up a team, please email Becky Parfait at beckyparfait@yahoo.com or call her at 936-332-3456. Together, we can change peoples lives.
