Longtime residents Elmer and Char Athey and their family have been battling cancer and need your help. Their son, Matthew, has bravely endured cancer treatment for the last year. Not, Elmer will be in need of treatment for cancer, as well.

On October 12, a benefit will be held for the Atheys. From 1 to 6 p.m., there will be inflatables, silent auction, and lawn games. From 4 to 7 p.m. will be the spaghetti supper for a free will offering. From 7 to 10 p.m. is the dance.

To donate to the silent auction, contact Ashley Stoel at 952-457-4961 or Anne Lester at 218-639-2134.
