It was an amazing day of community spirit and caring at the Elmdale Tavern last Saturday! The Lauren Gerro fundraiser was a great success, with over $4000 raised. Lauren Gerro is a 26 year old employee of Global Pet Foods, who had both of her legs broken by a falling tree during that awful windstorm in mid-April. Global Pet Foods' Karla Briones worked with Elmdale Tavern owners Nat and Bruce Myles to put together a benefit concert! Several bands played, the beer flowed, raffle tickets were bought and people bid on auction items. Together with the $7000 Karla already raised through her efforts, Lauren would receive $11,000 to help her through the months ahead! Lauren's parents, Douglas and Debbie were on hand, as well as Lauren's fiancee Matthew. Get well soon Lauren!
