HERON LAKE — A soup and sandwich luncheon to benefit the Najera family, who lost their home to a fire on Dec. 23, is set for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 22 at the Heron Lake Community Center.
A lesser teacher than Tim McConnell would probably have put me in the back row and told me to lip-sync.
For incidents reported the evening of Jan. 17 through the evening of Jan. 20.
The program is free and will begin at noon at the Jackson Library, 2 p.m. at the Lakefield Library and 5:30 p.m. at the Heron Lake Library.
Gerardo and Griselda Najera have lived in Heron Lake since 1998.
A variety of soups, sandwiches and desserts will be offered at the benefit, with a to-go option available. All the donations will go to the family to help them start over. In addition, a bank account has been set up for the family at Security State Bank in Heron Lake for those who wish to donate directly.
