Benefit for Jo Haun Nixon Sunday Noon
St. John Lutheran Church of Athol is
hosting a benefit dinner Sunday noon
with serving from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
at the VFW in Smith Center for Jo Hahn
Nixon who received a severely injured
shoulder in a car accident several
months ago and required extensive
reconstructive surgery of her shoulder
which has kept her from working. Sadly
during this time her husband, Darren, a
longtime employee at Peterson/Excel
Industry, was laid off because of large
cutbacks there, and the couple was left
with no health insurance to pay the
medical bills.
Jo graduated from Kensington High School
in 1994 and is the daughter of Darlene
and the late Allen (Hondo) Hahn who
worked for Athol Co-op for many years
and was the janitor at Kensington
schools prior to his terminal cancer
illness.
On the benefit dinner menu will be
sloppy jo sandwiches and all the
fixings. Take the family out for Sunday
dinner. Dennis and Kathy Beckmann,
695-2256, are the contact persons.
Proceeds will be matched by Thrivent.

Around
the Community
Julie Grauerholz of Hays, daughter of
Darold and Joyce Grauerholz, is
scheduled for surgery today, Monday, at
St. Joseph's Hospital in Wichita to
remove a tumor from her left middle ear.
Julie suffers from severe migraine
headaches, and her vision and balance
are also affected. She hopes to be back
taking pictures for her photography
career the following week.
Larry Burns of Phillipsburg who had been
in the hospital at Holdrege, Neb., was
able to return home last week.
Judy Graf of Bassett, Neb., was a
Thursday overnight guest of Ruth
Bienhoff. She was having an update of
their van installed at Matteson's in
Phillipsburg and enjoyed catching up on
news of their many friends.
The community has the opportunity to
help out two very needy families this
weekend, the family of Joe and Beth
Burns of Kensington and Jo Hahn Nixon of
Smith Center who graduated from
Kensington High School. Not only do they
need our financial help, but also our
prayers and emotional support. Read the
opening stories at the beginning of this
column for all the details.
Wishes for this week--May you have
enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough
sorrow to keep you human and enough hope
to make you happy.
