LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We are planning a workday on Saturday, May 20, 2023 starting at 8:00 a.m., finishing no later than 1:00 p.m. Come and go as you can. Please sign up here if you plan to come at all and if you can bring any needed items. We need men & women, boys & girls to help clean up the inside of a home to get it ready to sell. If there are men available to do some small home, repairs and yardwork, that would also be appreciated. In Eureka on James Street. Green house. We will provide lunch at 11:30.
History and information: The clean-up is for Kathy Collins Jack, who would’ve been a classmate of those graduating in 1976. She lost both brothers (Kevin and Ken) and her mother during Covid, and she has serious health issues. Her family (children, including a disabled granddaughter) live in Tennessee and she will be moving there after the sale of her family home is completed. The sale of the home will go to the state of IL to cover her mom's medical expenses. Contact Dawn Maloney with any questions. Thank you!
