Surber wins Cancer
Association Raffle
6/18/11
Carla Surber of Greenville was this year's winner of the annual Cancer
Association of Darke County's Gourmet Dinner for Eight Raffle.
The dinner took place Saturday, May 21, at the home of Tom and Julie
Graber, Greenville. The Grabers are a part of the group that prepares,
serves and cleans up from this special dinner.
Eikenberry's Super Valu once again donated the ingredients for the
dinner. Minuteman Press donated the tickets for the raffle, which
was held at the February board meeting for the Cancer
Association. The meal was prepared by volunteers who are some of
the members of the Gourmet Dinner Club of Greenville: Randy &
Amy Breaden, Tom & Suzie Brown, Tom & Julie Graber, Steve &
Eileen Litchfield, Anne Brumbaugh and Bill & Kris Osterbur. They
were assisted by volunteers Jeff Besecker of the Eaterie Foods blog and
Leslie Suter. All proceeds went to the locally operated and
independent Cancer Association of Darke County (CADC).
The menu began with beef roulades with gorgonzola and arugala while the
guests enjoyed time in the Graber’s livingroom. The first course,
was a cold spring pea soup with rosemary cream followed by mushroom
filled spinach raviolis with a beurre blanc. The entrée was Tommy
Bahamas Sanibel Chicken with a roasted red pepper sauce, leek risotto
and fresh broccoli. Dessert was crepes suzette with
homemade vanilla ice cream.
The Cancer Association is a cancer help agency located at 209 East 4th
Street in Greenville. They assist cancer patients from Darke
County in a variety of ways. They provide transportation for
patients going to cancer treatment centers, or can provide mileage
reimbursement for patients with their own transportation. They
provide financial help for purchasing cancer related medications for
those patients who do not have prescription benefits. They
provide the nutritional supplement, Ensure, free of charge. The
CADC promotes education in the early detection and treatment of cancer,
and supports research by making a yearly donation to the James Cancer
Research Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Any Darke County resident
with a diagnosis of cancer can receive these and other services by
registering at the Cancer Association office. Office hours at
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 am to noon and 1 PM to 4:30 P.M.
The Cancer Association will again sponsor a gourmet dinner raffle in
January 2012. Raffle will be available in late December.
Maybe you will be the 2012 winner!
