I have created a blog in dedication to my mother-in-law who is currently battling an awful case of Leukemia. We are going to have a fundraiser for her Oct. 9th, 2010, at the OLS Community Center, in Taylor, AZ. The Navajo Taco Dinner will start at 5:30, ($5/plate or $20/family) and have a live auction at 6:30. There will also be a Bake Sale and Silent Auction as well that night.
Please visit her blog www.debbiemillerfundraiser.blogspot.com for up-to-date info on her progress.
Continue praying for her progress. We sure love her and want a safe healing for her. Thanks!
