PROGRAM
Carl Ostenson- Relay for Life Co-Chair
Carl spoke to the club about the upcoming Relay for Life event in Des Plaines on June 25-26 at Maine West High School. This is a great community event that supports the American Cancer Society. There will be ceremonies honoring those fighting cancer and remembering those who have lost the battle with cancer. There are activities, raffles, food and music that lasts all night long. We were all encouraged to consider getting a team together for this event or joining a team or donating to a team.
