RELAY FOR LIFE: Jerry is already gearing up for the Chisago County Relay for Life event on August 10th at Chisago Lake Lutheran Church from 5-9pm. It will be held around the sidewalk at church as last year. Jerry will have something in the bulletins each Sunday before the event. A little blurb beats a temple talk. Luminaria can be purchased through Jerry Vitalis at any time until the event.
Now more from Jerry on Relay for Life (RFL): I would like to give some history of the RFL. I joined the Chisago County RFL in 2001 when I became a cancer survivor. The Relay has moved around from the C.L. High School to the Almelund Threshing grounds and cancelled in 2020 due to Covid.
I have sold many luminaries over the years mainly due to the giving of CLLC members, and also in the community. In 2020, Pastor Taryn and I decided to have our own Relay outside of our church and the rest is history. The Chisago County RFL then joined in.
I have kept good records, so I will get in touch with you, or please call me, 651-257-4496. Note: The RFL will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2022 from 5 – 9 pm. Thanks! Jerry Vitalis
