The loving hearts of our ALGA members revealed themselves again in August. We held our ALTRUSA benefit on August 23rd. We raised $8,000 for this worthy cause. Many have suffered from breast cancer or other cancers and know too well the importance of emotional, family, friend, and financial support. The following week, $5730 was donated for Food4Kids, another worthy cause that is so important to the children of Lincoln County. With a matching donor, the total donated that day was $6730. This will provide 2,304 backpack meals. To each and every one of you, thank you for your generosity and for your concern.
On September 19th we held an Appreciation Happy Hour for the AL9GA ladies who, as always, have been so generous with their time helping us this summer. Thank you, Ladies.
Our Fall Fling was held August 27th and 28th. The weather was great and everyone had good time.
This is my last Avalanche article as ALGA President. It has been an honor to serve as President. I have had wonderful officers and Executive Boards over these past 4 years. Their support and input have been invaluable and so necessary! I thank each of them for their time, energy, and concern for ALGA and I thank each of you, ALGA Members, for your participation and for your support.
Nancy Crowson
President, ALGA
