Volunteers are still needed to help set up and/or clean up the luminaria.

Notes to Relay participants: There are a couple things to note about being at City Park:

-Please DO NOT park in the Lakeside parking lot. Please use the streets around the park.

-Please bring your own lawn chairs for seating and food for enjoying that night.

The Silent Auction that was going to be held at the Relay in June was held outside of Curves in Glenwood July 20-24. There were fabulous items too numerous to mention donated by many individuals and businesses in the community. Thank you again! All funds received from the Silent Auction went to the American Cancer Society.
