County teams aid ACS programs
On a warm and sunny day a few
years ago, Dr. Gordon Klatt of
Spokane, Wash., decided to raise
some money to donate to the
American Cancer Society. Being
an avid runner, he decided to run
around a high school track and
take donations from family and
friends.
Out of this one person’s endeav
or came a vision and a dream
which is now the signature event
for the American Cancer Society
called Relay for Life. 1998 is the
fifth year anniversary for this
nationwide event which will
sponsor more than 2,000 Relay
for Life events this year across
the country.
Forsyth County is one of the few
counties in the United States
which will celebrate their person
al participation for the full five
years. Forsyth County’s Relay for
Life has won national and
statewide awards for their
involvement and commitment.
Not only has this helped their
own county, but their contribution
has helped develop and pattern
Relay for Life events across the
United States for millions of peo
ple to take part and enjoy.
Several committee members are
celebrating their involvement over
these last five years of growth in
Forsyth County. Relay for Life
Coordinators, Eddie Taylor,
Charlene Harrell, and Chris and
Diana Buntin received a personal
letter signed and placed on a
plaque from Dr. Gordon Klatt
thanking them for their help and
‘Pantry Raid’ benefits the Place
Creekside, United Methodist
Church is sponsoring its first
ever “Pantry Raid.” This com
munity project solicits nonper
ishable food donations from the
community to support the food
pantry at The Place.

National Arbor Day Foundation offers free shade trees
for residents who join the organization this month
Ten free shade trees will be
given to each person who joins
The National Arbor Day
Foundation during April as part
of the nonprofit Foundation’s
Trees for America campaign.
The ten shade trees are red
oak, sugar maple, weeping wil
low, green ash, thornless honey
locust, pin oak, river birch,
tuliptree, silver maple and red
maple.
“These trees were selected to
provide shade and beauty, and
a variety of forms, leaf shapes,
and beautiful fall colors,” said

commitment to build the Relay
for Life to a very successful
national level.
As committee members, Eddie
and Melody Taylor and Charlene
Harrell will celebrate their fourth
year, with Chris and Diana Buntin
their fifth year. Out of their com
mitment, determination and hard
work have helped encourage vol
unteers throughout the county
interested and determined to
come together as a community
and team to fight against Cancer.
There have been many tears
shared among all of the volun
teers while developing one of the
Top 20 Relay for Life units in the
United States. During these five
years, there have been loved ones
lost to cancer by the volunteers
while also watching friends and
families fight this dreaded dis
ease.
But what all of this loss has
done to each of the volunteers is
make them more dedicated and
determined to help find a cure to
cancer by helping to raise money
through the Relay for Life.
There have been many
Celebrations of Life among all of
the volunteers in the last few
years. The reason is because in
the first Relay for Life in 1994,
there were only seven survivors
who walked in the Survivors Lap.
At the Opening Ceremonies in
1997, there were more than 100
survivors walking in the
Survivors Lap wearing purple
sashes donated by Kroger at
Lakeland Plaza. This is symbolic
Creekside bags requesting dona
tions. On April 25, the volun
teers will pick up donations in
the subdivisions selected and
deliver the donations to The
Place.
The Place is a non-profit social
services organization which has
been serving our community for
over 23 years. The Place offers
postpaid at the right time for
planting in April or May with
enclosed planting instructions.
The six- to 12-inch trees are
guaranteed to grow or they will
be replaced free of charge.
