Diana Beechler, the 24-year-old woman who lost part of her leg in a farm accident in Elba on Dec. 7, is back home and doing well, according to her sister, Elizabeth Austin.
"She's doing great," Austin said.
Beechler still has medical and rehabilitation expenses to cover, however, so friends and family have organized a fundraiser for 6 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 21 at the Oakfield Fire Hall.
A Clor's chicken BBQ is being offered for $8.50 with tickets on sale now until Jan. 13 (no tickets will be sold at the door). There is also a 50/50 raffle planned along with raffle baskets.
The event will include a live DJ.
People who aren't interested in the BBQ are still welcome to attend the event, Austin said.
"A great big heartfelt 'thank you' to everyone for all there support, donations and well wishes," Austin said.
Arrangement for ticket purchases can be made by calling Diana at 297-5995 or Beth at 813-5531.
