Jenneifer Bieber sent us this news release for a benefit to support one of Royalton's best, Bob Stahl.....
In Support and Friendship of Bob and Shirley Stahl
Many of you may be aware, last year Bob was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
What is ALS?
It's a progressive, disabling and fatal disease. It's a progressive wasting away of certain nerve cells of the brain and spinal column which control motor muscles. With time, walking, speaking, eating, swallowing and breathing become more and more difficult. Only 1 to 2 people per 100,000 develop this disease each year.
Bob's main issue at this time is walking. His legs just won't carry him where he needs to go. The Stahl family has a need for handicap home renovations. Shirley is struggling on her own to get him around the house for the most basic needs we all take for granted every day. We have already received some donations of time to work on this project but we still have to pay for the supplies.
Bob was the founding owner of Stahl Bros. Milk Hauling as well as a dairy farmer for many years. He served on the board of directors of Niagara Milk Co-op for 15 years as well as on his church council for 12 years, 6 of those years as President. He is an exempt member of the Wolcottsville and Terry's Corners fire hall. He was also a member of the Bergholtz Insurance Company for 15 years. He was a member of Farm Bureau and Committee member of the ASC office. Bob also served as a councilman for the Town of Royalton for 12 years.
He has always done his civic duty and given back to his community in many, many ways. Now we have the chance to give back to him.
A spaghetti dinner fund-raiser will be held on Sunday, July 20th from noon-5 at the Wolcottsville Fire Hall. Tickets are 10.00 for ages 12 and up; ages 6-11 are 5.00 and children 5 and under eat for free. There will also be a special 20.00 ticket that includes one dinner and a chance at 10 items valued at 100.00 or more. We will also have a 50/50 drawing and a large basket auction.
We are looking for any type of donations people are willing to give, whether it's your time, money, raffle items or food supplies for the spaghetti dinner. Please feel free to contact any committee member to pick up your donations. Monetary donations can be made through the Bank of Akron, 46 Main St, Akron, NY 14001.
