The community was
invited to come to the Lincoln Knights of Columbus on Saturday to
help Josh Short and his family with medical bills. And they came by
the hundreds. Josh suffered a brain aneurysm and is rehabilitating
but cannot work at this time.
In all, 126 silent auction items,
five raffle prizes and nine live auction items, plus 265 pounds of pork and
tables filled with baked goods, were sold during the day and evening.
When it was all over, it was all
gone, and a remarkable $18,500 had been collected for Josh and his
family. In
a show of great charity, Denise Merriman, who won the $1,600 50-50
pot, donated $1,000 of it back to Josh and his family.
