Curbing Cancer
Our second year of helping “curb cancer” was a success. We raised $400 for the American Cancer Society, and had a lot of fun in the process! We all dressed in purple for the “Power of Purple” day and raised awareness about childhood cancer at the same time. Larry was stationed at the button for the walk signal, pressing it often to stop traffic! It was a fun afternoon. I want to thank Tia and her boys, Joanna and kids, Becky and kids, Catherine and Maddie, Derek, Kassy and Kinzley, Anne, Robyn, and Larry for all coming out to help make the afternoon a success.

News and pictures of the Relay for Life will be in September’s newsletter. Look for more details then!
I hope everyone has a fun and safe rest of the summer, full of family outings and several bar-be-ques. Look forward to activities starting up again in September!

SOUTHERN OREGON 

On Saturday, June 7th the Southern Oregon families were treated to a very special day of fun, food and love.  The Southern Oregon Corvette Association held their annual car show and corvette rides for our families. This year there was a special treat in store for us.  They invited a Hot Rod Club to join in on the fun. So we not only got to check out the beautiful corvettes, but some beautiful Hot Rods too. The SOCA also had a wonderful trophy engraved for the winner of the Hot Rod show to be chosen and presented by our kids. But their love and support didn’t stop there. They held a raffle for all kinds of great prizes and raised $1,024.66. Yes, you guessed it...100% of all the proceeds were donated to Candlelighters For Children With Cancer.  Their hard work and love continue to amaze me. You can feel their love and desire to help in any way possible the minute you meet someone from this great organization. They are remarkable people and I thank them for all they have done. We look forward to many more events with them. A special thank you to Dave and Sharon Wills for all their hard work in putting this together and Elizabeth Baldridge who worked very hard on getting donations for the raffle.  She unfortunately wasn’t able to attend, but we felt her love any way. Thank you!
