Canadian Cancer Society charitable event raised over $140,000
The old adage about a picture 'saying a 1,000 words' is most certainly true. What about if you had dozens of pictures to admire?
The Woodstock Camera Club volunteered again this year at Relay For Life at the CASS track and many memories were created from the stage, to the activity tents, to the volunteers, to Zumba dancing to warm up, to watching the solemn Luminary Ceremony.
Community champion Kay-Lynn Stevens set the stage with her talk about battling cancer since she was 5 years old, and now she's 19 and still smiling as her personal charity group Kay-Lynn's Smile would suggest.
The organizing committee was led by co-chairs Sandy Smith and Deb Moss, along with CCS fundraising administrator Liz Wismer-VanMeer.
Lets' look back to June 10 and Relay 2016:
