RSVP by April 1
For the fourth year in a row, Greene County Medical Center has chosen to sponsor a reception honoring cancer survivors and their caregivers at the county’s Relay for Life event on Saturday, April 23, at the Greene County Community Center in Jefferson.
Dozens of invitations have been mailed by the Relay for Life survivors/caregivers committee. However, the committee wants to be sure all those who are cancer survivors – the “survivor” designation begins upon receiving a diagnosis – and their caregivers know they’re welcome, regardless of whether they’re on the mailing list.
The invitation requests an RSVP by April 1. Committee member Darla Johnson asks all those who plan to attend return the card they received in the mail or telephone her at 515-386-3551.
The reception honoring cancer survivors has long been an integral part of the local Relay for Life event. This year it will begin with registration of survivors and caregivers at 9:30 am, followed by the reception in the room right off the Community Center entrance to the east (the former preschool room). The traditional group photo will be taken at 10, followed by the Survivor and Caregiver Walk.
Each participating survivor will receive a complimentary ticket to the beef and pork barbecue that will begin at 11:30.
