Photo# 73 from the Relay for Life Friday, May 15, 2009
The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life is Friday, May 15. This is their annual national fundraiser. WRCVFD volunteers will be setting up at the Renaissance tent (formerly Marshall Voss Health Care). WRCVFD will be located immediately on the left upon entering the faculty parking lot (the lower parking lot) of Roane State Community College.
Volunteers will need to be there by 5:15 PM if possible. If others can come later when they get off work that is fine. Volunteers do not have to stay the entire time. Please dress neatly and if possible wear some type of WRCVFD clothing such as t-shirt, dress uniform, or cap if you have it.
Volunteer firefighters should bring fire gear in case WRCVFD gets a call. Please let WRCVFD chaplain Bruce Foster know if you are planning on helping by emailing bruce_em805@bellsouth.net or calling at (865) 466-9147.
Most volunteers' lives have been touched by cancer and so has the Department.
