Relay for Life both raises cancer awareness and helps fund cancer research. Artesia’s event is still accepting team registrations at www.relayforlife.org/artesianm and looking for cancer survivors wishing to participate. Survivors may contact Bartlett at 513-1375. Organizers are also collecting canned goods to fill luminaria bags. Canned goods may be dropped off at First American Bank. Anyone interested in purchasing a luminaria in honor or memory of a loved one may contact Lucy at 703-4997. Rob Larson – Daily Press
