opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

To the editor: The
American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Logan County is
scheduled for Saturday, May 19, at Lincoln Christian College and
Seminary and Sunday, May 20, at Lincoln College
Relay For Life represents the HOPE that those lost to cancer will
never be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported,
and that one day cancer will be eliminated.
Why? To raise funds to support research, education and patient
services in celebration of cancer survivorship in Logan County.
Who? WE NEED:
1. Sponsors. If you can
and would like to help underwrite this event, please contact Kathy
Blaum at 217-733-9372.
2. Teams. If you would be
interested in forming a team or would like to be included on a team,
please contact Debbie Cooley at 217-732-7789.
3. Survivors. If you have
had cancer or are facing it right now, we would love to honor and
encourage you to be a part of our opening ceremony by participating
in our free "survivor lunch" and our "survivor laps" that kick off the
weekend events. Please contact Susan Gehlbach at 217-732-9281.

Luminarias. Bagged

honor or remember. Each sack is $10. Please contact Marilyn Armbrust
at 217-732-4261 or Bill Post at 217-732-7564.
5. Auction items. We host
a live auction and a silent auction the day of the event. If you can
help donate items, please call Dennis Cooley at 217-732-7789.
6. YOU. Whether you can
help in any of the above areas or not, we would love to have you
come alongside us to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate
those who have survived, to share comfort and encouragement, and to
empower us to accelerate the progress toward a future where cancer
doesn't take the lives of our friends and family. Every dollar raised helps make a difference in this community.
Did you know we help provide free rides to doctor appointments for
those in Logan County who have cancer treatments?
Please join us. Our next meeting is at Guzzardo's on Monday, and
the next meeting is Monday, April 2.
