Sandy:
I think I have caught up on my sleep, and I hope you have too!
Thank you so much for being a part of the success of the 2010 Relay For
Life event. We would have never reached our present goal of $130,000 or
had the response from the public that we did without the Saugeen Times
support and the vast amount of hours you dedicated to the event. I know
as when the Canadian Cancer Society gives our final total – The Saugeen
Times will be again be there to help to let the public know our final
totals.
Every photo opportunity – you were there and when photos were submitted
they were published. The stories and features you wrote prior to the
event put faces to the event and to this disease cancer.
Our committee members commented many times on your dedication, coverage
and event updates and support of our event at our meetings. And during
the relay I was stopped often to be told how impressed they were that
you were on site throughout the event. And you being on site all night
and working from the media tent was so appreciated!
It means a lot to our committee members and volunteers to have you there
and to be supported by our local media!
The response of the public in pledges was amazing. And the increase in
attendance by the public at this year’s event was due to your support
and the Saugeen Times circulation of readers. The vast amount of people
you reach with this powerful publication allowed this committee, and the
Canadian Cancer Society to have another successful event in Saugeen
Shores.
On a personal note, I know the impact your stories and photos have on
the success of an event! With so many events to cover in our area – for
you to dedicate the time to our event that you do to have photos, event
listings, and your stories throughout the year and at the event itself
is exceptional. It is truly noted and very much appreciated by me as a
special event planner and promoter - and as a friend!

As I listened to the stories on site at the Relay by the Cancer
Survivors, and talked to the public I heard the words “Saugeen Times”
over and over again! This says a lot about the impact you have on our
success…..
I know our committee, our teams, our volunteers, our sponsors and our
103 cancer survivors and care givers appreciate and love the coverage
that The Saugeen Times has done for this event – and will do for this
event in the future.
Thank you again Sandy for being a media sponsor, and a supporter of this
event and cause. Our community is blessed to have you and the Saugeen
Times in our community!
Sincerely,
Mini Jacques
