It is the way of life, of course, but it does give one cause to think. How many times have you said, “Oh, I was going to visit him/her this week,” but didn’t?
For many people, the year 2015 was a challenging or difficult one. Maybe it is time to wipe the tablet clean.
With the new year upon us and that thought in mind, it will soon be time to hold the annual Geneva Cancer Auction.
This year marks the 32nd year it has been held. Back in 2010 the Geneva cancer fundraising events reached the $1 million mark thanks to the many great people who donate, help, attend, and support the many fundraising events. How far are we in striving for another million?
The 2016 Geneva Cancer Auction gets underway at 7 on Friday night, Jan. 8 and will resume at 2 on Saturday, Jan. 9. The auction continues the weekend of Jan. 15 and 16.
Any and all donations are accepted. Sellable treasures, homemade goodies, and many other items can be dropped off the Geneva Bar & grill any time from now until the conclusion of the auction.
Whitey and LaJune Hagen once again plan to make their yearly trip to Rochester for the annual Eagles Cancer Telethon the weekend of Jan. 17-18. Whitey plans to present a check for all the money that was raised from the many cancer fundraising events in our area.
A motorcycle run was held in June, a golf event in August, the Wild Game Feed in December. Again a raffle is being held in conjunction with the cancer auction. The top prize is a 48” plasma HD TV with bluRay player, along with cash prizes of $500, $400, $300, $200, and $100.
2015 Geneva Cancer Auction T-Shirts and Sweatshirts, which are dark dray in color with gold lettering, are available for sale at Geneva Bar & Grill. The gold color represents childhood cancer, another area of concern for area families.
