Tonight’s meeting aims to provide information to the team captains who have signed up for the 2000 Relay for Life. A video tape of the 1999 Relay event will be shown, as well as some photographs.

According to Mr. Sablan, over 30 teams have committed to participate in this year’s fund-raising effort scheduled for July 28. “We are targeting participation by fifty teams in 2000,” said Mr. Sablan.
