Registration now underway for annual Relay for Life Survivor Dinner By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Pre events are currently underway for this year's Guadalupe County Relay for Life celebration. Among the events is the annual Survivor Dinner which will be held a couple of weeks in advance on Sunday, April 5 at the McQueeney Lion's Club. Longtime committee member Jim Johnson, says the invitation is extended to all survivors and one caretaker. "Anyone that is a cancer survivor is invited to the survivor dinner. We'd love to have everyone in the area that has been touched with cancer to participate in this event but we do need to have a RSVP so that we have a headcount," said Johnson. During the event, guests will be treated to a catered meal plus stories of survival. Johnson says this year's overall Relay for Life theme is "Rings of Hope." He says the dinner is the committee's annual effort to showcase "the hope" that exist within those who have battled the disease. He says each year, the committee looks to welcome new faces to the dinner.

"We tell them this is a celebration for them -- an encouragement. If they are currently under treatment, we want to encourage them because of the research that has been done in recent years, more people are surviving cancer and so we want to encourage them to keep faith. There's always hope and those of us that have been several years cancer free -- this is my 33rd year to be cancer free -- we want to celebrate those people also," said Johnson. RSVP is encouraged for the dinner. Those wishing to attend are asked to RSVP by calling 830-401-0432. When leaving a message, they will be asked to provide a t-shirt size plus the name of their caregiver who will also be attending. Registration is also available online at . The Survivor Dinner is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Sunday, April 5 at the McQueeney Lions Club located at 3211 W. FM 78. This year's Relay for Life Celebration will be held from 5 p.m. to midnight Saturday, April 18 at the El Fiesta Ballroom.
