Paint the State Purple The ACS Pennsylvania Division has planned a statewide program called "Paint The State Purple" for the week of 4/12/08-4/19/08. The purpose of the week is to increase awareness in the fight against cancer, the Relay For Life, and to celebrate survivorship. This week was chosen because it will culminate with our Canine Relay For Life! Our goal is to "Color The Town Purple" from April 12 until Relay so anyone passing through our area will know we are a Relay Community! We have already confirmed that: 1. PMMC will have all of their parking lot lights changed to purple from April 12 to the Relay! 2. The Coventry Mall will have purple bows on the columns inside the mall, and have the week advertised on their marquee and on their website! 3. The Mercury will be supporting us to inform the community of the details and encourage participation! 4. Borough Hall has committed to participate in the downtown area, and the Relay banners will be hung from the light posts the first week of April! 5. WPAZ has scheduled an Audio Issues on April 9th to inform the community! 6. Mayor Thomas will be once again proclaiming April and May Relay For Life Days at the upcoming council meeting on April 9! 7. Pottsgrove School District is planning on participating! 8. The Pourhouse in Pottstown and Crazy Carl's in Schwenksville will be serving purple beer! 9. Lynn Coine will have purple bows available for a donation to tie on your trees, mailboxes, doors, and anywhere else you can think of! Talk to everyone you know to encourage them to change their light bulbs to purple, have purple spotlights on their homes or trees, wear your Relay t-shirt at home and at work, have purple ribbons on the outside of your homes, ask business to participate in moons and stars or to have purple in their windows . . . the possibilities are endless!! What ideas do you have to Color the Town Purple? Contact Diane Nester at cochair@pottstownrelayforlife.com Hot Dog & Bake Sale Time: 11:00am - 1:00pm Location: Frederick Mennonite
