The Youth of Byron Presbyterian Church along with their members held their first ever Missions Extravaganza on this beautiful spring day.
This event was two fold. First and foremost was a benefit day for Kaytee Ivision. Kaytee is a 14 year old Byron resident recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia. She is currently undergoing treatment with plans for Bone Marrow Transplant in the near future. Kutz for Kaytee was organized by Jolie Yauchzee, Director of Continental School of Beauty and Jillian Cole, Stylist at JC Penney Salon of Batavia. Many area stylists and businesses donated time and raffle door prizes.
The second part of the day was to bring awareness to the Local links of other missons in their church and other missions in the area. It was interesting to learn today that this church does the Backpack Program for kids, where backpacks are packed full of food every Friday and sent home wtih children who's families are in need of food.
It was an wonderful event organized by Pam Kenward, Missons Moderator.
