Hello Everyone!


Wow what a night, last night was a great event and the raffle drew a lot of attention.  I ended up having 38 tickets to sell last night and sold them all in short order.  Everyone had a great time.  All of the Hemphills were there and Gerald was very happy to see everyone and had a great time.  Many (EMT's/Firefighters) people that we usually only get to see once a year at conferences made it out and it was nice to see everyone coming out to support this family.  I was also pleased to see a good number of people from the ER in Fremont come out who only knew Gerald through work.  I have not heard of a total head count, but would estimate 4-500 people made it through last night.  The live and silent auction went well and thanks to our donors, we had a lot of items to keep everyone busy!  Between the raffle and the benefit, we were able to raise a very substantial amount of money that should be enough to help this family through their time of need. 

I'm also happy to report that Gerald seems to be doing well with his chemotherapy.  Of course it is not without it's side effects, but thats the nature of the beast.  Everyone in our community has been coming out in droves to help this family which is so great. 

Now for the results :)

The 1st prize Benelli was won by Sandra Roemer

2nd prize TV was won by Karla Backhuus

3rd prize gift certificate was won by one of our Valley firefighters Jake Lewis.

We also drew for some other prizes after the main three were drawn.  The Valley Chief of Police won some free pizzas from Casey's (that will come in handy!)

I would like to thank all of you who purchased tickets and the Administrators for allowing us to solicit our raffle here.  All of your help is greatly appreciated.
