On Saturday evening, August 13, 2011, a check for $1000 was presented by Ladies Auxiliary of the Fraternal Order of Eagles #1906 past president Sharon Geiger and by Barbara Lemon, co-chairman of the 2011 Eagle Cancer fundraiser, to Laura Lefever, the local board member for Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana.
The mission of this organization is to enhance the quality of life by providing compassionate assistance to those affected by Cancer.
Additionally, the Lady Eagles were proud to present $600 earlier this summer to this organization. This $600 was raised at a March 12 Cancer Fund event, along with $600 more which went to the club's State Cancer fund. The fundraiser was chaired by Barbara Lemon and JoEllen Hueber.
This community was very generous in giving during these events. The Eagles Auxiliary then applied for a grant from the State Eagles Charity Fund department for this very deserving and local organization. The women were elated to learn that they received a grant for $1000.
The Whitley County community needs to be aware that Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana is active and available locally for many cancer-related needs with an office at 6316 Mutual Drive on the north side of Fort Wayne or by phoning (260) 484-9560.
