THE WAR IS ON!!! The Penny War, that is!! Luther's Lifesavers Relay for Life team is waging the 2nd annual Penny War between the 0830 service and the 1030 service. We will be starting on the 15th of April. So, everyone, clean out your pocket change, check the piggy bank, and help to win the "war". Remember that the pennies are the only thing that counts for the win....but if you would like to "sabotage" the other team....any other denomination of money takes away from their total. Please help us to win the penny war and most importantly to win the war against cancer. Together we can help so many people celebrate more birthdays!!
