Relay leaders

RUMFORD – The American Cancer Society has selected Peggy Brigette to serve as honorary chair for this year’s Relay For Life of Northern Oxford County.

Relay For Life is the American Cancer Society’s national signature event and is as much an awareness raiser as it is a fund-raiser. Businesses, civic clubs, churches, friends, and families take turns walking while celebrating the role the American Cancer Society plays in the fight against cancer.

Others serving on the Relay For Life committee include: Diane Mitchell, co-chair, Louann Cameron, Gloria Carrier, Debbie Dolloff, Lenny Fairchild, Kim Chaisson, Susie Gaudette, Lisa Hodgkin, Louise Jarvis, Jolene Lovejoy, Jamie Theriault, Bette Thibault, Debbie Trask, and Cheryl Dickson. The Relay For Life of Northern Oxford County takes place at Hosmer Field, Rumford, on May 21-22, 2004. To participate, call the American Cancer Society at 364-8358.
