A letter of thanks
For a brief change of pace, here are excerpts from a letter I recieved today from the chairwomen of the local American Cancer Society "Relay for Life" in which our team "Remembering Natalie Rose York" participated. Because so many of you supported our effort in Nattie's memory, I thought I would share it with you.
Dear Everyone:Many thanks to you for...the Relay for Life of Grant County 2008. Your 2008 Team Total went over $100,000...
We raised much money in a county that has so many issues, we should be proud of all of the work that has made this successful since January. What a tremendous achievement it was. Even with the rain, tents going down or blowing away, we had an amazing day filled with great ceremonies including the Survivors/ Lap, Ms Relay Contest and the moving Luminaria Ceremony. It was such an inspirational event where over 1200 people came to show their support in eradicating cancer.
You have made such a difference in the lives of those who are battling cancer! We appreciate your commitment to the American Cancer Society so very much.
We value this relationship tremendously and value the loyal support of your team in the Relay for Life's continued fight to cure cancer. We look forward to seeing your enthusiastic team again on the track!
...We want to make each year bigger and better and can’t do it without your help.
Warm Regards, and remember
THERE IS NO FINISH LINE UNTIL WE FIND A CURE!
The 2009 "Relay" is tentatively scheduled for June 6. Amy has already reported that several friends from Natalie's church want to join in. I will let you know more after the "kickoff" meeting in March of next year.
Thank you all so much.
