The celebration will be from 5:30 to 7:30 in the Manor at Doko Meadows. Community volunteers are needed to assist the American Cancer Society in planning the event as well as participating on the day of the Relay.  Visit online at relayforlife.org/blythewoodsc or call Stephanie Reedy at the local American Cancer Society office at 750-1693 if you would like to help in this community-based event. The Relay for Life event will be held on Friday, May 8 from 6 p.m. until midnight on the track at Westwood High School.

To the  20 new  National Board Teachers in Richland Two.  It is a  hard earned award with a well deserved  stipend  for these dedicated teachers. Congratulations also to Killian Elementary's "Let's Move!" award: and to the many students who made the holidays so much better for families needing assistance. 

We could have our own "Let's Move" event at  Doko Meadows Park to fulfill the many New Year's Resolutions made January 1. Join the many walkers we see each morning and start the year off right!  I hope 2015 brings you all good health and happiness! Thanks for reading the newsletter.
