The Goessel area CROP walk took place last Sunday with 68 walkers participating. As the walkers were dismissed, the youngest took off in a sprint and the more mature walkers strolled at a steady pace. Most walkers completed the six-mile route south and west of town.
Denise Nickel, area coordinator, informed the group as they competed their walk that over $5,000 had been raised. Most of this money will go to help dig wells in communities that do not have a safe supply of drinking water. Many residents in foreign countries regularly walk miles to get water for the families. It is estimated that $250 will help dig one well.
