On Friday, May 2, the Berlin FCCLA will join the Berlin Bears Relay for Life Team as they Paint the Town Purple! The festivities will be held at the Berlin Town Complex and are open to the public. There will be pulled pork and chili, a bake sale and purple ice cream floats, donated by Stewart’s. There will be a coffee can auction which will offer gift certificates and other nice prizes for children and adults. Food, music and raffles will occur from 6 to 9 pm. Drawing for the auction will begin at 8:30 pm. Donations are welcome.
Area residents are asked to show their support for the Relay for Life Team and for all those who have or are battling cancer. Fly a purple flag, hang some purple balloons or tie a purple bow on your mailbox! Purple bows are available from Tammy Osterhout, Dianne Mosher or at Berlin High School.
New members are always welcome on the Berlin Bears Relay Team. Sign up sheets for walkers will be available May 2. Luminaria bags will also be available at the Paint the Town Purple celebration. For $5 people may add names of cancer survivors or memorials to those who have lost their cancer battle. The bags can be decorated with photos, stickers, etc. Bring photos (or pictures on a flash drive) if you would like to add a photo to a luminaria bag.
Students are invited to “rock the night away.” From 9 pm Friday until 6 am Saturday, youth will rock in rocking chairs. They will be raising money for the American Cancer Society. Students are asked to pick up a permission form and then get sponsors for their hours of rocking. Students may qualify for special prizes depending on the amount of money they raise. The hours rocking can be used for community service. Interested students should pick up forms from Mrs. Mosher at Berlin HS or email nymoo@yahoo.com and forms can be emailed to you.
