Thank you to all the people who attended the Geri Murtaugh Cancer Benefit on Thursday evening.

The turnout was humbling and the financial support was heart-warming.

Thank you to all who bid on silent auction items and to all who bid on live auction items.

And double thanks to all who purchased items.

The proceeds will offset the cost of Geri’s bills. We miss her dearly, but the warmth in the banquet room at Wedgewood Cove shows the journalist affected many, many, many residents of the Albert Lea area.
