Cancer Association of Darke County
Annual Gospel
Sing Nov. 8 at Memorial Hall
The public is invited to the annual Gospel Sing fundraiser held by the
local cancer association. Different groups will be performing
that afternoon. One of those groups: The Lemon Family, from
Greenville, has been singing together for quite some time. Mike
and Lori met in high school and after they were married, began singing
together throughout Darke County. Once Kari and Julie were born they
quickly joined in. The Lemon Family has performed at various
church and benefit functions throughout the Darke Count area including
the Great Darke County Fair and the Cancer Association of Darke County
Gospel Sing.
Mike currently works at BASF Corporation in Greenville. He also
works from home through other various companies. Lori is
currently employed through the Whitewater Eye Centers. She works
primarily in the Greenville office, but also travels to Richmond as
well. She also serves as the Music director and organist at St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church in Greenville.
Kari graduated from Ball State University in 2012 with a degree in
Music Education. She is currently is in her second year at
Greenville City Schools as the Junior High and South Middle School
Choir Director and General music Instructor. She is also the
casting director forth Junior High Theatre Workshop production in
Greenville as well as serves as the Children’s and Senior Choir
directors for St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Greenville.
Julie graduated in May, 2015 from Ball State University with a degree
in Psychology and a double minor in Criminal Justice and
Criminology. She is currently employed at the Hillcroft ABA
Clinic in Muncie, Indiana, where she works on communication and life
skills for autistic children. She plans to continue her education
at Ball state in 2016 for a Master’s Degree in Applied Behavioral
Analysis with an emphasis in autism.
The Lemon Family mostly perform Southern Gospel inspired songs, gaining
much inspiration from the Gaither Vocal Band, the Martins and the
Talley Trio. They stay very busy singing nearly every
Sunday morning at their home church, but if given the opportunity, they
enjoy performing for the community.
Cancer Association of Darke County thank the Lemons in advance for
donating this evening to help cancer patients. Watch the papers
for more information on this event.
