Thanks to all the generous donations of time, assistance with ticket sales and donations for the Raffle and Auction,
Bobby Farrar Jr., Bobby Farrar Sr. and Lou Ann have been blessed with financial support to help them with his
ongoing medical expenses. We enjoyed the fun and fellowship and it gave us all a moment to step back and help
someone in need. In today’s times, we are all so busy that sometimes it is important to stop and remember there are
people out there in this world that need our help. We can all continue to pray for Bobby and his family as his medical
journey continues. Thank you again, for your support, we could not have done it without you.
Mike, Michelle & Rosie Ezzell
