Len and Nancy Redding, donors of the ’98 Dodge Dakota
pickup, have signed over the title to winner, Jean Bateman of Adrian. The Reddings, who have owned the pickup for
12 of its 15 years, say it is still in good running condition despite its
199,000 miles.
Ms. Bateman was one of many who made a $10 contribution to
the Senior Center for a chance to win the pickup. The objective was to sell 250 tickets and
raise $2,500 toward the Senior Center’s annual local matching funds needed to
supplement the annual grant in state and federal funds that supports the meals
program in Bates County.
The drawing was held at the monthly meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Senior Center on Monday, March 11th.
This is just one of many ways the community helps fund the
Senior Center, a local non-profit service agency that is part of a state and
national network of senior centers and services. Residents of Bates County are invited to help
with additional fund-raising ideas.
