Community support appreciated

June 14th was the Spaghetti Dinner / Auction Fundraiser for Randy Geck. Randy was there to enjoy all the friends, family and community who came together to celebrate and honor him with their love and support.

The fundraiser was a huge success, not just because of the people who donated their time, energy and skills, but the generosity was amazing. There were donations of food for the complete spaghetti dinner. St Paul Church donated their space and spectacular kitchen. There were wonderful auction items that brought in a lot of cash for the fund.

Randy’s health is improving and though he has a long ways to regain back all the strength and vitality required to carry out full daily activities, at least he can do so without the worries of how to manage financially.

A note of thanks to some of the people who donated facilities, food, time, and money to make this event the success it was and of course you know it took hundreds to make it all work, but can’t list them all.

Father William and Annie at St Paul Church, Roths IGA, Rolling Hills Bakery, Purdy Enterprises, Rose & Greg Beyer, Mary & Mike Lundquist, Ruef’s Fur Ranch, Ormink, Gary & Lafonda Teigen, Don & Gail Ruef, Jeff & Diane Nunn, Doreen Kelly, Marie Coleman, Virginia Brown and Our Town Monthly for sharing our story in their earlier publication. There are so many others that helped and our thanks to them as well.

Thanks to a generous crowd of people who came and enjoyed the Spaghetti Dinner and Auction and made it not only fun, but very successful.
