Homemade soups and sandwiches and beverages will be sold throughout the weekend. According to Ziegler and Witt, the auction succeeds, in part, because of the generosity of the auctioneers who donate their time and talents to exhorting the auction-goers to spend money. In addition to Utpadel, the list of auctioneers includes Mark Hunter, Mickey Brooks and Glenn Medgaarden, plus Tiny Johnson of Carpenter, Iowa, and Dick Allen of Albert Lea. Ziegler and Witt have invited some long-time auction supporters and participants to attend and be recognized 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Bob Callier, director of the Fifth District Eagles Cancer Telethon, won't be there.
Cancer touches everyone in some way.
We are one of the beneficiaries of the Eagles Cancer Telethon and we appreciate the assistance we receive. The research at Hormel Institute includes Dr. Zigang Dong's section on the molecular mechanism of the development of cancer. In addition, Dr. Zoltan Kiss and his section are researching alcoholism's link to cancer. Meanwhile, Dr. Margot Cleary's section is researching obesity's risk factor to breast cancer. Their work, in small part, benefits from the generosity of the Lyle Area Cancer Telethon supporters and like, all other communities, Lyle knows cancer's devastating impact.
