Letters to the editor...Relay a rousing success

Dear editor, I would like to thank all the participants, volunteers and sponsors who helped make the recent Relay for Life event such a great success. The first Acton, Erin and Rockwood event was held at Rockmosa Park and despite the rainy weather we had a great turnout, fantastic food, wonderful entertainment and raised more than $13,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. We would like to thank all those businesses that donated and prepared food items, the entertainers who performed, and the Rockwood Lions Club for supplying the breakfast for volunteers and participants. We would like to extend a huge thank you to the Independent & Free Press and New Tanner for their coverage of this event-- we really appreciate your support. Cathy Gerrow, president Acton branch Canadian Cancer Society
