The Saturday, October 7th
Pink Shirt picture is the lovely residents and staff of
Vonderlieth Living Center in Mt. Pulaski. At the center,
many of the residents are enjoying a long life with good
care and careful consideration of their medical and
physical needs by the staff.
This brings to mind the thoughts of how that it used to
be that a diagnosis of any type of cancer meant that
person involved would probably not enjoy the longevity
of life. However, it is different now. Ninety-one
percent of those diagnosed with breast cancer will be
survivors who celebrate their five year cancer free
anniversary.
This is remarkable news because it means that the work
being done by researchers is paying off. As we used to
fear that a breast cancer diagnosis was a death
sentence, today it is not. Of Course, early detection is
key, so be sure to do those self-exams, and pay
attention to changes in your body. Don’t assume a lump
in the breast is cancer because there are other,
non-cancerous reasons for changes in the breast mass. At
the same time, don’t brush it off as nothing to worry
about. Check with your doctor.

The tale of the little
orange and black quilt
Thursday night’s Pink
Pumpkin Auction astonished the auction committee with a
total that is winking at $40,000 for one evening. And it
is all because of a community that comes together and
supports a good cause with proven results of helping
people locally.
There are a lot of stories to tell about this particular
auction, and little by little we’re going to get them
out there to our readers, starting with the story of the
little orange and black Halloween Quilt.
To do so, we have to start with the Clinton Pork and
Apple Festival. Yes, that is where the quilt was spied
by local businessman Seth Goodman. It was a quilt and
appliqué piece made by Marsha Hurley, whom of course,
Goodman knew.
Goodman posted the quilt on his social media page, but
then, he decided that instead of keeping it, he would
let the little piece work well for a good cause, and he
donated it to the Pink Pumpkin Auction.
The quilt was about the fifth item to come up for bid on
Thursday night. Let us set the scene by saying that
throughout the night, it is typical for bids to go
higher the closer to the end we get, so when the little
piece started climbing into the hundreds, it was quite a
surprise.
As it approached $1,000, Karen Castelein and Nila Smith,
the owners of Lincoln Daily News, gave the nod, and
auctioneer Mike Maske announced that if the quilt went
to the thousand-mark, LDN would match it.

The thousand-mark came
quickly after that. But it didn’t stop there. A bidding
war was afoot, and while we can’t say who was bidding
against her, we do know who the winner was, Jane Bryson!
With the match and the top bid, the quilt brought in a
total of $3,000 for the American Cancer Society.
That is exciting news, and it is just one of the auction
items that left the building Thursday night with winning
bids exceeding $2,000!
Thanks so much to Seth Goodman for donating the quilt,
Mike Maske for doing an astounding job selling the quilt
and Jane Bryson for having such a heart for the American
Cancer Society and buying the quilt.
LDN will have additional coverage from the auction in
the Monday edition.
