To the community of Rock County:What a moment it was to stand among the crowd at the Relay For Life on Friday night and hear Vivian Holst announce that not only had we beat our "stretch goal" but we had exceeded even her expectations ($45,000) to raise an amazing $50,000 for the American Cancer Society!! And that number, as we know from prior years, will continue to grow over the next couple of weeks. To be a part of such an incredible county-wide community that cares so deeply and is willing to share not only financially but with time, talents, encouragement and support is a wonderful thing. I hope everyone will congratulate our hard working teams — some business groups, some families, some gatherings of friends — who feel so passionately about this cause. Glenda Schomacker, was a FABULOUS honorary chair. We had a hard-working committee of dedicated individuals who pulled together as one, and the City of Luverne Public Works Department worked tirelessly to make our move to the park such a success. Finally, thank you to the residents of Rock County for your support for this event. Our sincere hope is that it will continue to grow each year, and that one day soon there WILL be a cure for cancer. What a celebration that will be!Vicki BaartmanNancy KaczrowskiRFL Co-Chairs
