Of The New Era

one for Sweet Home with multiple
events on tap: Ladies Night Out on
Friday and Saturday, Oct. 12-13,

Walk for the Cause
Saturday's events start at 9 a.m.

will start at approximately 9:30 a.m.,
will be 1.9 miles long, although the

The Walk for the Cause event
is sponsored by Soroptimist Inter-
national of Albany and Samaritan
Cancer Program. The Albany Walk
for the Cause was held Oct. 6, start-
ing at the Linn County Courthouse.
Proceeds from both events will be
donated to Linn County organiza-
tions to help provide additional local
resources for detection, treatment
and support services for diseases af-
fecting women.
Keynote speakers are Albany
residents and stars from the 19th
season of the "Amazing Race," Bill

In spite of low expectations,
the Aldens proved to be formidable
competitors and remained in the race
until the lOth pit stop, said organizer
Wendy Younger. They have strong
connections with breast cancer and
support breast cancer research.

Sweet High School students provide helping hands on the playground at
Crawfordsville Head Start, pulling dried weeds from chainlink fence on Sept.
28. On the left side of the fence are, from left, Michael Rolph of Michael's
Yard Care, high school teacher Melissa Klumph and Peggy Rolph. On the
right, from front to back, are Kristen Peterson, Kelli Fanning, Ariel Volkers
and Courtney Kent. With the closure of the school, Head Start is responsible
for more maintenance at Crawfordsville, and with Fridays off, it gives teach-
ers and students a chance to volunteer along with community members such
as the Rolphs.
