ST. WALBURG — Jan. 20, St. Walburg Seniors held a potluck supper followed by entertainment by Lou Getz, Norman Baldwin and Bruce Vick. Everyone very much enjoyed the music.
Following the supper and music they played cards to end the evening.
There were about 27 seniors who enjoyed the evening.
The seniors have been working hard to try to raise money to shingle the roof on their building and just for overall operating expenses. They made Christmas cakes and pudding, which sold well, and they held a bake sale, which also went well.
They catered to a few events for groups that rented the facility.
The St. Walburg Kin Club heard the group is struggling and asked if they could help to raise money for this project. Their offer was greatly accepted and Jan. 22 an appreciation supper was held by the Kin Club to thank all those who donated and helped to raise $8,241, which was presented to the seniors’ organization at the supper.
The St. Walburg Senior’s organization greatly appreciates and wishes to thank all those who donated to the cause. It would have taken the organization a very long time to raise the more than $7,000 to do the roof and have money for general operations.
