If you have come to my website in the past, you know that I periodically mention my friend Steph. Recently, Steph’s family added an addition onto her house and on June 12 there will be a dinner and raffle held to raise funds for the new addition. Details below.

Mark your calendars to attend the Friends of Mark Allen Benefit Saturday, June 12, 4:30 - 7:30 pm at the Shelby Co Community Center. There will be kids activities, a pasta dinner and auction. Fun for the whole family while helping a great cause!

Mark Allen (Steph’s Step-Father) was born with Spina Bifida which has affected his mobility and made it difficult to live at home.

His family is raising funds to pay for a handicapped accessible bedroom and bathroom addition to his house which will allow him to continue living at home with his wife and daughter.

Cash Donations can be sent in to First Assembly of God, 1146 Hwy 59, Harlan, IA 51537. Make checks out to the church with a note for the Mark Allen Benefit. Thank you for your support!
