Community invited to pasta dinner and raffle to help ailing seventh-grader
St. James Episcopal Church is having a pasta dinner and basket raffle on Jan. 16 for a seventh-grader who has Hodgkins Lymphoma.
Brandon Johns attends Batavia Middle School and was diagnosed last October. He has gone through a series of powerful chemotherapy sessions and now radiation treatments, all at Strong Hospital in Rochester.
There are so many expenses that insurance does not pay for.
So please join us at 4:30 p.m. on Monday in the Parish Hall. Dinner includes spaghetti and meatballs, salad, dessert and beverage. Cost is $10 for adults, $8 for students and 5 yrs. and under free. Eat-in or take out. (Dinner is until 7 p.m. or sold out.)
Many items have been donated for the basket raffle, which will be held the same afternoon. Anyone who would like to donate items may call Carol Queal at 343-5177 or the church at 343-6802.
The church is located at 405 E. Main St. in the City of Batavia.
