It was then that town employee Dora Williams suggested that they form a team for Giles County Relay for Life in honor of their friends, and the Pearisburg Cure Seekers Relay team was born. The Pearisburg First United Methodist Church Relay team, Eternal Flame, kicked off this year with a Souper Bowl Luncheon and Dessert Auction on Su- per Bowl Sunday. During February team members participated in the “Feb- ruary is Love” campaign to sell luminaria bags, to “honor” and “remember” loved ones. During this time 181 luminarias were sold. Plans are being made to have a drive thru lumi- naria service to light up the names of those held dear. These luminarias will also be displayed at the New River Valley Relay event. Last year for the lu- minaria ceremony in the church everyone was hon- ored to have Alice Dowdy, one of the organizers of the first Giles County Relay event, as the guest speaker. Alice continues to be pas- sionate for the Relay for Life activities. Last year, and years before, she has organized a luminaria event in her neighborhood and raised money that she has turned in to the American Cancer Society.
