Paint the County Purple; this is the Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society's annual day set aside by wearing purple to remember those who have had cancer and those who have lost their loved
ones to cancer. Get everyone in your office to wear their purple for the day. Do something for the cancer survivors in your workplace and tell them that you are glad they beat this horrible disease. Take a
moment to remember those we have lost and most of all, fight back by doing something to help in the fight! Remember that Kossuth County's Relay for Life is only about a month away and there is still time
to help in the fight against cancer. If you need information contact Kay Kinseth at 515-295-7068; Algona |
