Dougherty benefit Sunday in Odin

A previous heart defect has manifested itself again causing diminishing pulmonary functions which effects his work resulting in more weekly trips to Minneapolis to see specialists and for medications. The menu includes burgers, potato salad, chips, beans, ice cream sundaes and beverages. Free will donations will be appreciated. There will also be a silent auction. If you can’t attend, donations for him can be made to the Odin Firemen’s Relief Association by mailing checks to P.O. Box 33, Odin, MN 56160, or dropping off at the Odin State Bank.
