Thanks for support

We wanted to take the opportunity to publicly express our gratitude to our community. Thursday evening a fundraiser was held to help send our son Evan and five other accomplished Flathead High School students to the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, Calif., in May. The spaghetti dinner at Fazooli's was proposed, planned and pulled off in a very short time and ended up being quite a wonderful evening. We measure this by so much more than the dollars that were raised. From the enthusiastic backing of Evan's employers at Fazooli's, to the overwhelming attendance of friends, neighbors and many acquaintances, we were quite overwhelmed by the support. While many people happily attended for the good food and the good cause (hard working students who will impact our future), it was clear that many were there to support our family. We feel so grateful to live in this area among the warm, caring and interested people who watch over and help each other out. Thank you.
