I'm new to this e-community for Relay For Life.  I am part of the comittee for the West Sussex Relay For Life in Delaware.  I am currently working on an online newsletter for our Relay For Life.  If anyone has ideas for this newsletter let me know.

Thanks,

Melissa (A 5 year AML survivor)

Hello! Nice to meet you!

Hi!!  Nice to meet ya too.  I am really enjoying working with the RFL Committee in our area.  It is a great way for me to give back.  I am disabled because of my cancer treatment, so it is nice to find a way I can work from home and be able to give back!

Welcome To the RFL!

I have been a member of the Relay For Life of Clintion County in PA for the past 12 years.  I started as a team member then team captain for the past 11 years and the PR Chairperson for the past 4 years.  If you would like to get some great templates for the Relay For Life Newsletter ask your ACS staff person to get you a user ID and Password for a wonderful site called Brandwizard. This website has templates for Newsletters, logos and many other things that may help you with your newsletter.  If you would like I could send you a copy of our last newsletter I just sent out.   Just let me know. I would be glad to help you out the best I can.

Nice to meet you!!

Nice to meet you!!  Sending me a copy of your latest newsletter would be great.  Is it an Online Newsletter or is a Paper Newsletter??  Either one would be great!!  Just let me know what info you need to send it.

And you too!

I use the template I told you about and I write the newsletter on my computer.  I send it electronically to all the team captains and committee members an then I email it to the ACS Staff person who turns it into a paper version for the team members.  Send an email to my email account at gabsnanna@myway.com and I will send you the templates I have and the latest newsletter I did.  It is so neat to talk to others who are doing the same kind of Relay work I do.  I did read your other replies and am sorry that you too have to fight the battle with cancer.  I am a cancer survivor and I know the struggles  and the hope that there is a cure soon.  Hang in there and let me know if anything I sent you is helpful.
