A huge congratulations must be posted to thank Jason Stubbe, Beth Boulard and other committee members who organized the 2nd annual FUNdraising Day on Saturday (May 11) in the Zellers / Foodland parking lot.
I counted more than 20 tables all with proceeds to Relay For Life (June 14-15 at CASS) and the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS). Relay teams were busy selling yard sale items, new t-shirts, flowers, baked goods, popcorn, burgers and hot dogs, and part of the event also included entertaining children in attendance. The Oxford Media Group's Andrew Norris was in a flying squirrel costume and was busy reading children's stories (see picture) for a donation.
Luminary Ceremony at 10 p.m.
Luminaries were also for sale at FUNdraising Day. The luminary public sales program will continue on three Saturdays at the farm market on Nellis Street -- May 25, June 1 and June 8. The luminary dedication ceremony is at 10 p.m., and this solemn method of remembering those who have died from cancer or are continuing to battle cancer, includes a tealight candle lit at 10 p.m. (inside a bag) to light up the CASS track. Last year, almost 2,000 were sold for $5 each. Luminaries are also available at various retail locations around Woodstock or by visiting the CCS Oxford office at 65 Springbank North.
Lunch With Craig
Anyone involved with Relay can almost maintain their entire spring season of social functions by attending various Relay For Life fundraisers, including an upcoming barbecue lunch at Woodstock Print & Litho (Springbank Ave South) on Friday, June 7. You can pre-order your lunch -- and maybe for your entire office -- by dialing (519) 537-6239. Craig and Brenda Ludington have been long-time Relay For Life committee volunteers.
