Sheila Vose of Perry and Connie Boone of Payson participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Quincy Saturday. Their team “In Memory of Marcel” was sixth top team, collecting over $2,300! Sheila was recognized for being fourth top fundraiser as an individual, and also received a beautiful mum for raising at least $500. The ladies are thankful for all the support from their communities and friends in this endeavor since Marcel passed away five years ago.
A birthday party was held at the Golden Community Center Sunday for Viola Miller of Golden and her daughter Diana Meyers of Machesney Park, (you may remember them living in Perry several years ago).

We extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Joe Sidwell who passed away Sept. 20 in Pittsfield. Happy birthday wishes go out to our granddaughter Lexi Kessinger Oct. 2.
