4 Page 4 LUMINARIA Pottstown Relay for Life is 20 this year and one of the best parts of Relay day is the Luminaria ceremony. Not many people know you can decorate your own bags! The Luminaria committee has a new decorating kit you may borrow to decorate your luminaria bags. If you have someone special you would like to encourage in the fight you can customize your unique Luminaria bag anyway you want! Memorialize loved ones lost in the fight by adding photos, expressions, be creative remember good times as a family it is good therapy! The kit is stocked with stickers, paint, colored pencils, glue, Mod Podge for weather proofing photos, glitter glue, and decorative paper scissors. The only thing we ask is that you refill the kit with anything you may use from the kit. If you have something different you want to add to the kit feel free. If you don t have time for that direct family and friends to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life website where they can dedicate white bag luminaria. Participants get fundraising credit for Luminaria Family and Friends dedicate! We have forms are available at the Luminaria table during meetings for those who may not want to dedicate Luminaria on line. Just a reminder all day of event luminaria will be placed on the track as they are ordered. Any luminaria purchased before Relay will be alphabetized as in the past. If you are decorating your bags at home please be sure to place a name on them at the bottom for alphabetizing. This way you will ensure you can find your special Luminaria day of Relay! If anyone has tips they would like to share for weather proofing the bags please Liz Layre (layre73@gmail.com) and we will include them in the next newsletter. If you have questions or want to volunteer, contact anyone of the following Luminaria committee members: Elizabeth & Russell Layre layre73@gmail.com; Jane Sample jasamp60@gmail.com; Karen Hydutsky karen.hydutsky@gmail.com; Lynne Muthersbaugh lmuthers1968@gmail.com Next ELT Meeting: Tuesday, March 28, 6PM Next Team Meeting: Wednesday, April 19, 6:15PM, meeting starts at 6:45PM

5 Page 5 Entertainment If you have any ideas for entertainment for the 2017 Relay, please let us know by ing pottstownrfl@gmail.com Road to Recovery Every day thousands of cancer patients need a ride to treatment, but some may not have a way to get there. The American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people with cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. How does the program work? Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need. If you or your loved one needs a ride to treatment, call the American Cancer Society at to be matched with a volunteer, or search online for programs in your area. Am I eligible? Patients must be traveling to an appointment required to begin or complete cancer treatment, or to an appointment for complementary therapy during cancer treatment. Transportation cannot be provided for follow-up appointments after treatment has been completed. Patients must be ambulatory, able to walk unassisted to and from the vehicle, or have an accompanying caregiver to assist. Patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a legally responsible adult such as a parent or caregiver. A 4 business day advance notice is required, not including the date transportation is needed. Thank you to everyone who fundraises for Relay For Life and helps make Road To Recovery possible. 50/50 TICKETS Tickets are now available!
