Relay for Life thank you

We would like to thank those who supported the Relay for Life in Fallbrook Sept. 25-26. We have just been informed by the American Cancer Society of San Diego that, based on the funds its members raised, Team: Red, White and Blue is the 19th in the nation during the new fiscal year, which started Sept. 1, 2004. Also, Polly Bowers is number two in the nation as an individual fund raiser. We could not have done it without the support of family and friends here in Fallbrook and around the world.

Our team members who participated in the relay included: Jack Parkinson; Lee & Rene Watson; Stan & Joan Rauh; Stan Rauh II; Susie Switzer; Wes Switzer; Walt & Stacey Jo Diekman; Ron & Patrice Pifer; Dave Marvin; Bob & Kathy Leonard; Scott, Sam & Gray Bowers; Linda Biggam; Dick & Violet Hulit; Bob & Bobbi Arboneaux; Vicki Newcomer; Robert Book; Judy Ambrose; Joyce Wood; Jerry Diffee; Jean & Steve Smith; Connie Scott; Rob Arboneaux; Deana Lahnes, and more. Over 120 others from as far away as Switzerland helped financially.
