Conger Benefit Saturday, January 21st

by Nathan Wood

Please join us on Saturday, January 21st at the Pekin Community High School to help Ralph Conger in his fight against cancer. A free-will donation soup supper will be held in the High School Cafeteria starting at 5:00 p.m. with a silent auction and live auction to follow. This benefit is to raise money for Ralph who has been battling stage four lung cancer. Ralph has been a custodian in the Pekin Schools for the past three years. He learned of his condition back in March of 2011 and, due to the progressive nature of his illness, he has been unable to work full-time and suffers from nausea, headaches and fatigue.

We are looking for contributions for the auctions, monetary gifts to go toward the purchase of items for the auctions, entertainment ideas, etc. Additionally, if you know of businesses or organizations that would like to contribute to this cause please be sure to let us know. You may direct your questions and/or to make a donation to either Dave Silvers (641-226-8482), or Troy Conger (641-919-4987).
