Jefferson community plans chili supper in support of Adam Rumsyre on October 11
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
In the wee hours of September 13, Adam Rumsyre was critically injured in a four wheeler accident in rural Jefferson Township.
The extent of Rumsyre’s injuries are not yet entirely known, yet those who know the Columbia City High School senior, 4-H member and Jefferson Township volunteer firefighter cadet best are hopeful as he continues to recover in an area hospital. He’s shown some positive signs – an ability to squeeze visitors’ hands and opening his eyes for a few seconds.
Rumsyre’s Jefferson Township community of friends and neighbors are rallying in support of him with an all you can eat Chili Dinner on Saturday, October 11 at Laud Christian Church. The event will be held from 4-8 p.m. and all proceeds raised at the dinner will be given toward Rumsyre’s medical expenses.
The event, coordinated by Laud Christian Church as well as the Jefferson Center Volunteer Fire Department, will include chili with all the fixings, hot dogs, pies and cookies.
Volunteers are also coordinating a raffle at the event with many prizes. Raffle tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5.
Anyone interested in donating items for the raffle or providing monetary donations for the Adam Rumsyre fund my contact the Jefferson Center Volunteer Fire Department at 229-2347 or send them to: Jefferson Center Fire Department, 5090 East 800 South, Columbia City, IN 46725.
