Team Velda held their annual “Roaring Rippey Bake Sale” at the Greene county Relay for Life event, raising funds in memory of Velda DeMoss. The team appreciates the support for this effort and for all who are part of the team.
Mary Weaver and I want to thank all of you for your support of the team and connection over the years as we raise money in Velda’s memory to fight cancer. I noticed at the event yesterday, luminaries that had been provided for Velda in pervious years with the others on display.
We earned $440.00 from our “Roaring Rippey Bake Sale.” With other donations, we know we have approximately $840 total, so far. The cinnamon rolls that Mary Weaver provided has achieved quite a following. People enjoyed the other items also. Many folks told us to keep the change and others donated without taking any baked goods.
If you would like to donate or know anyone else who would like to help this cause, donations can be sent to Nikki Uebel, Treasurer Greene County Relay for Life, Peoples Bank, 115 W State St., Jefferson, IA 50129. Checks payable to the American Cancer Society with “Team Velda” in the subject line. Donations can be made through Dec. 31, 2019.
Thanks again for being part of the team and we will be in touch for next year.
– Nancy Hanaman, Team Captain
