Seniors in the Sturgis area rocked the community with a fun rock-a-thon fundraiser hosted at the Sturgis READ Club on March 16. The eight main participants were all over the age of 90 years.
Participants included: Katherine Kuzik, Bertha Mills, Irene Orr, Morris Masley, Gladys McDougall, Florence Johnson, Pearl Karcha and Vi Palaniuk.
A soup-and-sandwich luncheon kicked off the afternoon followed by the rock-a-thon. The fundraiser had participants taking turns rocking in a rocking chair over the course of a few hours. Other individuals were encouraged to also participate and encouraged to support the rockers.
“This is our second rock-a-thon,” said Betty Lou Skogen. “It is our way of showing our appreciation to all the seniors in the club. It is also a fun way to raise funds for the club and it gets the community involved,” she said.
