As we close out another year we want to congratulate and thank our RUMC Relay team
and our church family for their overwhelming support. Due to our team’s desire to raise
funds to fight this disease and to educate people about Cancer prevention our RUMC
Relay Team turned in hundreds of dollars, generously given by family and friends, which
included many requests for luminaries. Our RUMC Team turned in 73 names which were
then placed on the Relay ‘Remembrance Wall’ and displayed the 24 hours of Relay.
Congratulations to Sharon Border and Pam Lindemer who made the commitment to walk
24 hours in their support of all those people who are cancer survivors and to those who
have lost their battle with cancer.
Thank you to Greg, Zach & Fiona Jones for staying the night and being available for our 24
hour walkers if they were needed. A special thanks to Zach for walking with and being
there for Sharon and Pam during the long night time hours.
A special ‘Thanks’ to those who worked on the Bunko fundraiser, all who came to the
Corner Bar, our dedicated set-up and take-down crew, those who donated for our Pixie
Stick and M & M fundraisers, donations of water & food for our walkers and workers and
all those who worked selling Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Pixie Sticks. It takes a lot of
hard work and belief in a cause to make a successful TEAM, again we say thanks!
If you still have M & M canisters or would like to make a donation to our Cancer Relay for
Life team we have until August 1st to turn in money and it will be credited to the 2011
Relay.
We continue to work toward the goal of raising funds in order to save lives and celebrate
more birthdays through education and research while loving and supporting our families
and friends who face this disease every day. Thank you to everyone who supported our goal this year.

Janel Langs & Jill Mackie
