Fundraiser for Keegan Burnett

The River of Life Fellowship in Sweet Home hosted the fundraiser for Keegan Burnett, who was in a serious skiing accident on January 28, 2012.  Having no medical insurance, the community came from all over the area from Philomath, Corvallis, Albany, Tangent, Salem, and Eugene.

Jennifer Kennedy was at the door of the Church, welcoming everyone with a big smile as shown below.

There were 2 dining rooms, upstairs and the basement, which were fully occupied and as each table was empty, someone else would take their place, demonstrating the power of community spirit to help.  The areas do not look like a church but a fine eating establishment.
There were about 250 present during the evening helping the family financially.

Keegan was present with his family, as shown in the photo below.

The delicious meal consisted of spaghetti, salad and a variety of drinks and desserts.  The servers ( Some of the servers shown below  were Nettie May, Tom M., Mike B., Dale M., and Keegan's grandma, Jessie B.) were giving extraordinary service, like a 5-Star restaurant.  After being seated ( Gary H. is shown seating a family), the staff worked with alacrity to make sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of.

The atmosphere was professional, the staff friendly, the food great and the time well-spent.

Thank you, River of Life Fellowship and Pam Miner, organizer,  for performing this act of kindness and giving.
