Ms. Inselberg expressed appreciation for past support from Council. A list of scheduled events for 2006 was circulated. The Enderby Arts Council is requesting that Council declare the week of April 23 – 29 “Arts and Culture Week in Enderby”. Ms. Inselberg invited Council to attend the April 27 concert being held at the Evangelical Chapel.

Nancy Cooper and Wendy Brown – Canadian Cancer Society
Re: Relay for Life

Brochures were circulated which highlight the Relay for Life event. The event is staged as a fun event for a serious disease. Funds raised are used for support of patients and families in the community and for cancer research.

Ways of participating include creating a team, joining a team, and supporting a team. The event is held in Salmon Arm and although there are people from Enderby who participate, they would like to see more. The relay is taking place June 3 and 4 at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds from 7 pm – 7 am. Mayor Phillips has been invited to speak at the opening ceremonies. There is entertainment throughout the evening and the event is always very emotional.

Participation is easy: phoning the Canadian Cancer Society or visiting the website at www.cancer.ca. Volunteers are always welcome. The Cancer Society welcomes Council to create a team, join a team, or support a team.
