Geary County 4-H / Senior Center Committee members are planning a fundraiser on April 2 at the facility on South Spring Valley Road. Doors will open at 5 p.m. with dinner from 6 to 6:45 p.m. There will be a silent auction and raffle, and following the dinner a live auction. Proceeds will go toward painting the interior of the building and other pandemic deferred maintenance.
County Commissioner Trish Giordano said representatives from the committee reported on Monday about goals that they want to accomplish. "They just talked about painting the inside and eventually getting some more storage for the area." The governing body was also briefed on the fundraiser.
Tickets for that event are $10 for age 12 and under, and $13 for age 13 and over. Get them at the Geary County Extension Office ( 785-238-4161 ) or at the Senior Citizens Center Office ( 785-238-4015 ). You can get them from Building Committee members Harold Erichsen, Sue Penn, Clarice Longhofer, Karen Erichsen and Bobby Denham. Tickets will also be available at the door.
Some of the events that the building is used for include 3rd Grade Ag Day, rentals, elections, senior citizens meals and activities, the Geary County Free Fair plus 4-H club and project meetings.
