Relay for Life “Kick Off” meeting

Greenville-The Darke County Relay for Life Committee recently held their organizational “Kick Off” meeting. The meeting was led by Event Chair Rose Schlater.

The meeting was designed to introduce the many volunteers by committee and team and to address any questions, as well as, brainstorm for the Darke County Relay for Life event which will be held at Heritage Park in Versailles on July 18th and 19th.

Committee chairs were formally announced as:

Accounting Chair: Diane Elsas

Survivor Chair: Joyce Johnson

Luminaria Chair: Michelle Alt

Logistics Chair: Terrie Oestreicher

Food Chair: Deb Kenworthy

Publicity Chair: Kathy Magoto

Sponsorship Chair: Vicki Everetts

Mission Chair: Carrie Drees

Online Chair: Lynne Mangen

Each committee consists of a supportive group of volunteers, but new volunteers are always welcomed. Volunteers from all across Darke County work together bringing their personal stories and vision to the fundraising efforts of the Relay event. Volunteers are our neighbors, friends, and relatives who desire to work together to raise awareness, network with cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, family and friends and help in the fight against cancer. The funds raised go to the American Cancer Society to fight against all types of cancer, as well as, provide support programs.
