James Topel Benefit was held at Crawfish Junction in Milford
on Sat., March 8. James
was injured in a snowmobile accident in
early
January. Friends & family
organized a benefit which consisted of food, karaoke, silent auction
and raffles! St. John's
put together a Thrivent service team to help out at the
benefit while also submitting a request for supplemental funding.
Special thanks to Steve & Deb Brown, Jean Klug, Lynn
Mehringer, Wendy Keeser, Pam & Bob Hill, and Julie Wright. How
awesome it was to be out in the community helping others.
