Attention all Irwin Families~~~~~ This is an opportunity to participate in 
what is the American Cancer Society's signature fundraiser right here in our 
own community, The 2009 Relay for Life of East Brunswick, to be held May 30-
31. Participation in this event is voluntary.   

This community-wide event offers everyone the opportunity to participate in 
the fight against cancer. Teams of people are invited to come out to Heavenly 
Farms in East Brunswick (must pre-register) and take turns walking or running 
around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the 
track at all times during the event. Relays are an overnight event, up to 24 
hours in length. Games, music and other activities are held throughout the 
night for participants when they are not on the track.

Go to www.relayforlife.org/eastbrunswicknj to find out more about this 
exciting community service opportunity.

             "DOES YOUR FAMILY ENJOY EATING AT PERKINS RESTAURANT?" 

     Irwin PTA is proud to announce a new fundraiser. We have joined forces 
with Perkins, on Route 18, next to Sam’s Club, to help raise money for Irwin 
and it couldn’t be easier. Visit the 'Download PTA Forms' of this website 
where you will find coupons for Perkins with our number (4) on each one. 
Every time you and your family enjoy any meal at Perkins at any time, if you 
hand in the coupon when you pay your bill, Irwin will then receive 10% of 
your check. This fundraiser will be ongoing, so feel free to make copies of 
the coupon. Just be sure to include our number (4), so Perkins knows who to 
give the money to. As always, if you have any questions at all, feel free to 
email me at lmazz66@hotmail.com or call me at 732-390-2171. Thank you for 
your support.
