Raffle - Silent Auction - Spaghetti Dinner
4-8pm @ St. Boniface Church, Cold Spring, MN
Deb Hennen (Kelley), Rocori class of ’74, was first diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in November 2004.
Metastatic cancer was detected in her breast tissue and in the lymph nodes of her chest wall. Deb underwent chemotherapy and thankfully her cancer went into remission in April 2005.
Follow-up visits since then
had brought good news – until this past March, when a PET scan revealed
that Deb’s cancer had returned to the same lymph nodes in her chest
wall, having also spread to one of her lungs.
Deb’s second battle with cancer has made her very sick. So sick, in
fact, that her doctor has ordered her to stop working. In late June,
she spent several days in the hospital with hemoglobin/platelets at
dangerously low levels. She’s been receiving blood transfusions and
shots to increase her strength.
Deb’s determination hasn’t let up one bit. The only way Deb would agree to a benefit was if we could make it fun. So, please come on Sept 19, 2008 and expect to have a good time.
This disease carries an incredible financial burden with it. You can help by spreading the word, offering to sell raffle tickets to family and friends, and generously contributing.

We hope you are able to come to the benefit, which will include a spaghetti dinner, a silent auction with many great items donated by local businesses, and a raffle of over 30 great prizes also generously donated by businesses, family and friends. Entertainment will be provided by Max and the Good Old Boys, so it should be a fun evening for a good cause.
