Good Morning Relayers,
My name is Vincent Lin and I have been the event lead for the American Canyon Relay For Life for the past 2 years. I am writing this message to discuss the status of the 2018 Relay For Life. As some of you may have found out, the American Canyon Relay For Life is merging with the Napa Relay For Life to form the Relay For Life of Napa Valley.
I want to take some time to make some facts known. This is not an isolated decision. Nationwide, the American Cancer society are consolidating relays by approximately 40%. Ultimately, due to the proximity of both of our relays we were selected. Also, the decision had been made to shut down the Napa American Cancer Society office. This rearrangement has moved our event office to Santa Rosa. Also, it leads to a new Staff Partner.
Remember, the American Cancer Society's Efforts are to best maximize the use of the dollars that we raise in order to end this horrible disease, and ultimately the decisions made are to maximize the amount of money that goes to providing cancer services and to researching a cure. In this new relay format, I have decided to stick on as Co-lead and work closely with Jaymie Kilgore as the other co-lead. We would like to invite you if you want to join our ELT to a committee meeting at the old Napa office location, this Tuesday night at 6:30 at 860 Napa Valley Corporate Way, Napa CA
I would like to thank each and single one of you for every effort that you made to fight cancer and defeat this horrible disease. I will ask that your resolve remains steadfast and that we together can finish the fight.
