Relay For Life - Captain's Night Is Thursday

As a member of the steering committee for the 12th annual Relay for Life in Woodstock, I am displaying my current press release here for the event scheduled for June 17.

As with all similar fundraisers, there are a lot of organizational meetings to assist in reaching our goal of at least 85 teams and over $250,000 this year. One of those meetings is a Captain's Night on Thursday -- April 7, which is noted below.

If you would like to sponsor me, please call me at (519) 537-1553 anytime. If you would like to volunteer in any way to make this event successful, you can contact me or others listed at the bottom of the release.
