27, 2013]
The Logan County Relay For
Life is joining all of America in celebrating 100 years of saving lives and
creating more birthdays through the efforts and research of the American
Cancer Society, begun in 1913. Formerly the word cancer was not spoken, so
almost all patients with this dreadful disease were lost. |
On Saturday, May 18, the Logan County
Relay For Life teams will sell $10 luminaria bags at Lincoln IGA
from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. The luminaria will also be available at the
annual Relay For Life Breakfast at Lincoln College on Sunday, May
19, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. On Wednesday, May 22, these luminaria
will draw attention to the 100th anniversary, as all of those
purchased will be placed on the front porch of each participating
home and lit at sundown to show support in helping to stamp out this
disease in this century.
The luminaria purchased for this
celebration will not be relit at the Relay For Life event June 14-15
at Lincoln College.

Post, 732-7564; Tonita Reifsteck, 855-1645; or Nicole Lee, 828-1100. |
