Have you been blessed to be a blessing? Area churches are collecting donated hay for the south. If anyone has any hay they would like to donate, it can be brought to the Rock Valley Hay Auction Yard and from here it will be trucked to the south. It can be any size and type of bales. This should be brought in basically by the end of September. Call if you have questions.
To get more out of life, give more of yourself. No matter how hard you hug your money, it never hugs back.
