A group of friends and community members in several area towns have come together to support Shannon Johnston, an 8th grade student at Bancroft-Rosalie Community School who was recently diagnosed with cancer.
"Prayers and Projects for Shannon" asks that you help us support the Johnston family by attending a chili feed that will be held on Sunday, November 11th, 2012 at the Rosalie Community Building. It will start at 11:00 a.m. and end at 2:00 p.m. Besides food and fellowship there will be many opportunites to buy raffle tickets for many donated prizes, bake sale as well as silent auction items. The 7th Direction karate club that Shannon belongs to will also be performing demonstrations.
All monetary donations will go directly to the family for anything they need to help them in this time to get Shannon back home to her horses and animals that she loves so much. If you are unable to attend the meal on the 11th, the Charterwest Bank in Walthill and the First National Bank in Bancroft have accounts set up directly for donations. There will also be sites in Bancroft, Rosalie and Walthill where you can purchase raffle tickets. We ask that everyone come together to help Shannon, who is an avid horse rider, church group member, volleyball player, book reader, 4-Her and karate brown belt to feel all good wishes and prayers coming her way.
