Sand Lake Shuffle 19th Year Begins


It's time to begin planning for another successful local cancer fund raising event! This year's Sand Lake Shuffle (Sand Lake, Voyageur's Resort) Old Highay 53, Britt By Pass is scheduled for August 13/14. Last year, despite the economic problems, the Shuffle raised $48,400 that was disbursed to the CarePartners committee(provides money locally to those stricken with cancer and their families, The Liz Prebich Breast Cancer Center, Virginia, Mn., St. Mary's Breast Center, Duluth and St. Luke's Whiteside Research, Duluth for cancer research and treatment. The SLS committee tries to be fair and to provide for our local people's needs. Planning has begun and we ask that readers consider a team to walk around the beautiful Sand Lake track or to purchase our delicious $6 spaghetti dinner. Donations are always welcome and family and business fund raisers are becoming more popular. It is not too early to start planning and some of our members began last night. Questions? Ideas? Suggestions? lundgren65@yahoo.com ask for Holly and come for a fun evening of music, pizza, spaghetti, and laughter on Aug. 13/14.
