Hi Joe.  I’m not sure if you were informed or not, but my friends Josh Scott and Cheri West lost their home to a fire on Saturday night.  The Lagoon Bar and Grill is having a benefit on Friday night to raise money for them and their two children.  They need all the help they can get, since they lost everything.  If anyone is interested in donating clothing or any other items you can drop them off at 32158 Mt. Hermon Rd.  Also, there is account set up for donations at the Farmer’s Bank of Willards under Scott and West Family.  Thanks for spreading the word Joe!
