The Raccoon Valley Aktion Club recently donated $500 to the Avenue of Flags fund for the two cemeteries in Jefferson. With generous donations from organizations and individuals, 124 flags damaged over the Memorial Day holiday can be replaced. Volunteers are working at repairing another 107 torn flags.
Pictured at a check presentation earlier this week are (front, from left) Barb Lawrence, Jefferson park and recreation director Vicky Lautner, Mindy Bassett, Les Reinhart and Julie Blackmer; (middle, from left) Jessica Wolf and Angie Bane; and (back, from left) Brenda Batschelet, Josh Ford and Matt Bradley.
