The Hessel Valley Lutheran Church has issued a public thank you to all those who came out to the benefit chicken and biscuit dinner, Thursday, Sept. 29. All proceeds from the dinner are helping to defray the medical costs for Morgan Zaffino, 2 1/2 year old daughter of Mark and Melody Zaffino who was seriously injured in a tragic lawnmower accident. If you would still like to make a donation to the family, please contact the Hessel Valley Lutheran Church or one of the local area churches.
