Sharing Amelia's story

Amelia Rose's grandmother is from Brooten. I wanted to share this link and ask everyone to consider giving money to her family through the safe and secure website "GoFundMe". Even a gift of $5 or $10 is helpful. EVERY BIT truly helps!!!!

Being healthy is truly a blessing. It's a blessing that not everyone experiences. It's been a tough week as I recently learned that a B-B-E classmate of mine has untreatable cancer. In fact that classmate passed away today. She's the second member of the B-B-E Class of 1996 to die from cancer.

It's awful.

On an entirely unrelated note...here's information on an Belgrade August Fest activity taking place on Saturday. This is also noted on page two of this week's Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper.
