BENEFIT FOR MAC BRACKENRICH ON DECEMBER 3 The   National   Alliance   for   Law   Enforcement   Support,   through   the   Alderson   Police   Department,   Lewisburg and   Fairlea   Fire   Departments,   and   many   other   sponsors   and   organized   by   Angela   Robinson   is   holding   a “One   Team   One   Fight!”   benefit   for   Mac   Brackenrich   at   the   Community   Center   in   Alderson   from   12-5   p.m. on Sunday, December 3. Brackenrich   is   a   police   officer   and   fire   fighter   who   was   critically   injured   on   October   28th   in   an   off-duty incident.   Brackenrich   and   his   family   are   facing   a   very   long   road   ahead   and   the   goal   of   this   benefit   is   to   help make that road as smooth as possible. The   benefit   includes   a   spaghetti   dinner   from   12-2   with   salad,   garlic   bread,   drink,   and   desert   for   $10;   a silent   auction   from   1-3;   and   a   live   auction   starting   at   4   p.m.   Food   will   continue   to   be   available   as   long   as supplies last. The Alderson Women’s Club and many others will be providing homemade desserts. Everyone   is   invited   to   come   and   share   the   spirit   of   the   season   while   supporting   a   great   cause.   Door   prizes will   be   given   away   and   t-shirts   and   bracelets   will   be   available   for   sale.   Tickets   for   a   50/50   drawing   will   sold. The live auction is sure to be exciting under the gavel of Billy Morgan. Tremendous   support   has   already   been   received   from   businesses   and   other   generous   donors   throughout the   area   in   the   form   of   items   for   the   auctions.   Offerings   will   include   guided   hunts,   guided   fishing   trips,   hotel stays, restaurant dinners, new tools, antiques, primitives, gift certificates and much, much more. There   is   a   lot   going   on   at   the   benefit   so   you   may   want   to   spend   the   afternoon   eating,   visiting   with   friends, watching your silent auction items, and participating in the live auction. Robinson   said,   “We   cordially   ask   you   to   come   out   and   show   your   support   for   a   more   than   worthy   cause!   In this family no one fights alone!” PHOTO CAPTION: Please come to the benefit and support Mac Brackenrich.
