[February 18, 2017]   LINCOLN - The Relay for Life of Logan County will have volunteers hosting a booth at this year’s Wellness Expo on both Friday and Saturday.

At the Friday event, for all Logan County fifth-graders, the booth will be manned by Bill Post. Bill will be handing out information designed to go along with the lung machine that the RFL displays annually. The lung machine has been a tool of the RFL and American Cancer Society for the past several years at the expo, and carries a powerful message for young and old alike.

Post will also provide special materials to young people who are cancer survivors in Logan County.

On Saturday the 18th, the Expo will be open to the public with youth and adults encouraged to attend.

On that day, Bill Post will be joined by the Survivor Team of Esther Boward and Tonita Reifsteck. The survivor team will have additional hand-outs and will provide Survivor Materials from the 2016 Relay.

The team will also be signing up survivors for this year’s event, as well as signing up new teams or individuals who wish to participate in 2017.

The booth will also offer luminaria forms for sale.

This year’s Relay for Life theme is “Paint Your World Purple,” and will be held on Saturday, June 17 from 3:00 to 10:00 p.m. at Lincoln Center on the campus of Lincoln College.
