Swank family benefit earns $1,200

LaCrosse

Norma Gibson, Ron Hopkins and Mike Stine competed on the Whitman County Cougars team in the special Olympic tournament at Zeppos Saturday, Oct 31. Norma and Mike received gold medals and Ron won a silver medal.

The raffle to benefit the Drew Swank family was drawn at halftime of the football game last Friday evening. The winner of a night at the Holiday Inn Express in Spokane and a $100 gift certificate to Klinkerdaggers was Dionne Evans.

The raffle reportedly raised approximately $1,200 to benefit the family.

LaCrosse Thrift Store will be open Nov. 14 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Volunteers are needed so the store can be staffed for more Saturdays, especially near the first of each month.

Call Aggie Burchett to help.

The Outreach members appreciate the community support they receive. The donations of clean, gently used clothing allow the Thrift Store to be a viable part of our town.

An organizational meeting is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 8, for a Bible Study lesson.

Those interested are asked to contact Bob or Leanne Bafus so a time and place of appropriate size can be selected.

A 4H meeting will be Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the school cafeteria. Those interested in joining are urged to attend. The 4H books need to be completed for this meeting and turned in. Each family is asked to bring a dessert.

Enrollment forms for the upcoming year will be completed, so bring insurance information and a parent. Contact Kim Berquist or Stacy Aune for more information.
