Volunteers Needed for Relay For LifeNext Volunteer Meeting Scheduled for January 14
Participants from all walks of life – including patients, medical support staff, corporations, civic organizations, churches and community volunteers – join together in the fight against cancer. Relay For Life is a team event where participants walk around a track relay style overnight. Teams of cancer fighting enthusiasts will gather at the Snyders Sports Complex at Illini Middle School in Jerseyville on May 30, 2008 to show their support and dedication. Volunteers from the Jersey County area are still needed to continue planning now for this event. They are needed to organize and recruit teams, seek community support and underwrite, coordinate logistics, find refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment, and lend their support in any way. If you would like to join the Relay For Life in Jersey County as a volunteer or team participant, call Jersey County Event Chair Stephannie Meuth at 498-7162 or Amy Slauson of the American Cancer Society at 800-642-8084.
