Photo Gallery: Relay for Life Honors Volunteers Tuesday

Relay for Life committee feted people who assisted in making this year's event a success.

American Cancer Society joined with organizers of this year's committee to recognize sponsors and others  who helped make this year's venue a success. After a brief talk about the event, event chairman David Melford awarded recipients in attendance with awards. He also introduced next year's co-chair, Lisa Albinger. After the ceremony, everyone sat down to a dinner hosted  by the committee. The ceremony was held at restaurant.

A special thanks to those not pictures as well courtesy of David Melford:
