A benefit will be held in Allen on the 13th of January at noon for Jesse Nickell and his family. Jesse is battling a brain tumor. We are sure the surrounding community will turn out in record numbers to support this great family.

A donation dinner will be served, starting at noon, in the Allen School Cafeteria followed by Silent and Live Auctions, and a 50/50 drawing.

Donations for the auction are being accepted and greatly appreciated, especially baked goods. Donated items already include guns, and a fishing trip. Eric Brown will serve as auctioneer. Check back next week as we will start posting a list of items to be auctioned.
