Benefit Bowl for Tammie Chastain

Local woman Tammie Chastain has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and will face ongoing treatment for quite some time. To help offset some of her costs, the Bowling Angels have organized a bowling fundraiser for Saturday, October 2nd at Adrian Lanes. There will be a total of three games of 9 pin no-tap; anyone may bowl and there will be prizes for high game, etc.

There will also be a silent auction with bidding from 6 to 8:30 pm. If you have items you would like to donate for the auction or need of more information, call Anita Kershner at 660-267-3646 or 660-424-0423.

Even if you're not a bowler, come and check out the auction. There will be many items including food and gift certificates from local retailers.
