(USPS 604-340) Once again, I was priveleged to be a part of a fund raiser in our small community of Otwell. e Otwell Community Center, Otwell Ruritan Club and Jefferson Township Fire Department combined to help the family of our own Tony Catt, a fine young citizen of our community that lost his life unexpect- edly earlier this summer. As a young family, we don't oen budget for a tragedy such as this. is inspired us to have a fund raiser to help with such. Not only did our organization members help with all the work involved, but the community as a whole came together to help. Just want them all to know how thankful we all are for the help and appreciated it very much. It wasn't only our own community, but everyone that helped by purchasing meals, buying at the silent auction, bake sale and the many monetary donations from all around the county and surrounding areas. e most rewarding part of the evening was the gratitude and tears the family and everyone present showed when the gi was presented to them. I am so thankful to have been a part of this and thank God for his everlasting goodness for all this to happen for this family. A member of Otwell Community Center In memory of our "Pop" Ray H.
