(Talk of the Town photo by Jennifer Zartman Romano) A picnic held in memory of the late Jeff Braunsdorf, a dedicated volunteer for the Whitley County Family YMCA youth sports programs, was held Saturday in the new pavilion at Morsches Park. Thanks to the generosity of many local businesses who donated items for the event and to more than 450 people who attended the picnic, a $1000 trust fund has been set up for Braunsdorf's children. According to the event's organizer, Steven Kuhn of the YMCA, donations continue to come in as well. Above, volunteers serve grilled hot dogs, chips, water and hot cocoa Saturday.
