Santa Maria Supports Relay for Life

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

On July 10, twenty members of Altrusa of Santa Maria volunteered for the annual Relay for Life.

The members split into (2) groups of ten.  One group worked the Survivor Tent, serving breakfast and lunch to over 400 survivors. The other group worked in the Kids Kamp, entertaining the children of the various teams walking in the relay.

Danielle, daughter of member Lorine Edens, was the coordinator of the Kamp and arranged for girl scouts to do face painting.  The children made cards to be sent to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and received books to take home. Several grandchildren of members also volunteered for the Kamp.

The Altrusa Foundation of Santa Maria, for the second year, provided a grant to the local Cancer Society to fund the Kids Kamp.


Shown in the Survivor Tent: Diane Alleman-Stevens, Bonnie Rauschuber, Linda Wilson, Edith Gray, Freya Verzduco, Sandi Frazier, Betty Baxter and President Pauline Skiba. Not shown Ann Murie Torrez and Anna Sorenson.
