Saturday, April 19 is the day to once again help fight cancer in Geneva.
In January, Whitey Hagen was proud to deliver $100,000 to the Eagles Cancer Telethon in Rochester on behalf of the great people in our area who donated and supported the many cancer fundraising events held here over the past year.
The funds are raised through many different efforts and activities including the yearly cancer auction, the Wild Game Feed and gun raffle, the 51" Plasma HDV Blu-Ray player raffle, along with the "Hot Looks For A Cure" calendar. Don’t forget those great summer events including the Geneva Cancer Golf Outing, the Geneva Cancer Motorcycle Run, as well as the Matt Felt/Dillon Gordon Motorcycle Run. This past year also provided some "hair raising" events including one at the Bend in the Road, as well as money raised from Locks of Love.

Participating in a sport at the intercollegiate level is an opportunity afforded to a very small percentage of high school athletes. Receiving money to do so is even more rare.
Nick Goette knows how it feels.
The NRHEG High School senior signed a National Letter of Intent last Wednesday to play football on a partial scholarship at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall.
“It’s awesome,” said Goette, son of Rod and Deb Goette of rural Ellendale. “As all this was coming together, I was like, I can’t believe this is happening, I’m getting money for college.”

Germany’s the word at NRHEG High School this year. It’s also where new students Jana Elin-Brand, Julia Kanngiesser, and Celia Ilisch call home – or rather, “first home.”
These three girls, all in 11th grade, are part of the Foreign Exchange Student program for the 2013-2014 school year, and they’ve adjusted well to their second home. Friendly and funny, they are a joy to meet.
Here’s your chance to get to know these ladies, learn about their experiences, and get a small glimpse of what it’s like to live in a new country.
