On Saturday/Sunday, June 12/13, 2010 we will be participating in a Relay for Life.  Relay for Life is a fun, family oriented event to raise money for The American Cancer Society (ACS).  People who attend usually walk around a track, however, we will bring a dance floor and dance instead.  We will be located on the other end of the football field from the main activities so that we can have our own music and speaker system.   At 4pm will be the Opening Ceremony where cancer survivors will be recognized and invited to walk a lap around the track.  Following that, people who have formed teams will be recognized and everyone at the relay will be invited to walk a lap around the track.  About 4:30 we will begin dancing.  There will be some breaks in the dancing.  One of the activities for the day will be a Cancer Survivor's Reception at 5:30pm in the school cafeteria (please complete and mail in the form below).  At about 9pm there will be a Luminary Ceremony to honor survivors and remember those who lost the battle.  Those who make a donation of $10 to (ACS) on a Luminary form (below) are invited to separately send via email a photo of that person.  During the ceremony the photo will be included in a slide show.  The address is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  It is necessary for photos to be sent prior to 5/12/10.  Be sure the persons name and either "In Memory" or "In Honor" is included with the email.  This will not replace the Luminary Bags which will line the track.  It is possible to purchase Luminary Bags prior to the Relay so they can be personalized.  Following the Luminary ceremony we will return to dancing until about 1am.  The Relay will continue until 6:30am with a closing ceremony.

The Relay is held at the football field at Lindale Middle School, 415 Andover Rd., Linthicum, MD.  Each person is responsible for their own refreshment and food, however, food and drinks are available from a number of Relay teams.  No alcohol/smoking.  Bring a lawn chair, wear comfortable clothing and shoes.  Bring a hat, jacket, and sunscreen.  Canopies/tents are welcome and encouraged.
