WE WOULD LIKE to express a sincere thank you to all of the people who donated, attended or helped with the chili supper and auction that was held at Olpe Elementary School on November 7. What started out as a small benefit for the family of Alicia and Ryan Redeker became an enormous show of support for this family. Alicia is battling cancer and travels to Kansas City for chemotherapy treatments.
Many of us are aware of the expenses that occur when there is a serious illness in the family and we just wanted to help ease the burden for this young family of four. We were overwhelmed by people volunteering to help, whether it was to donate auction items, find other people to donate auction items, bring chili for the supper, help with the supper, or help make the auction run more smoothly. Once again, our small town came through with more support than we could have hoped for.
Olpe State Bank continues to accept donations on behalf of the Redeker family.
We would like to thank all of the anonymous donors and the following people and businesses that helped make the evening a huge success — Nancy Hopkins, Mike Maxwell, Heidi Davis, Kerri Schulz, Charlie and Marie Haag, Modern Air, Navrat’s, Carolyn’s Hairitage, Michelle Cole, Larry and Sylvia Miller, Dr. Todd Detwiler.
