Fundraiser for Medical Mission trip to be held

A chicken-and-rice dinner Medical Mission Fundraiser will be held on Friday, Oct. 23 from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Courthouse Annex in order to raise funds for the Medical Mission trip in November. In coordination with the Caribbean American Medical Educational Organization, doctors, nurses and volunteers will be providing medical care during a week-long trip to several different clinic locations in Belize. During the trip, these volunteers and medical staff will be seeing patients, administering medication, doing diabetes screenings and providing other treatments needed. Donations disclosed, such as wheelchairs and breathing machines, will be shipped off to Belize before the trip and given to the nursing homes. Come out and enjoy good food while supporting a good cause.
