The Spirit Of Christmas Cheer Fund “God bless the Cheer Fund,” one donor wrote in a note that came along with their donation. “You bring happiness to so many needy people.”

Letter writer is happy to give

Since 1927 the Christmas Cheer Fund has received thousands of letters from children and adults in North Iowa asking for a little help to brighten the holidays. The requests are often not for “gifts”, but help with necessities like food, warm socks or a coat. Other letters are from North Iowa residents who in their generosity give the donations that help so many. No donation is too small, from the pennies gathered by kindergartners to the generous checks given in memory of loved ones. In the past 86 years you have given $2.541 million to help fellow North Iowans in need of a little cheer for the holidays. This year’s goal is $120,000.

Cheer Fund donations or referrals may be made to: Christmas Cheer Fund, GlobeGazette, PO Box 271, Mason City IA 50402-0271 or taken to the Globe-Gazette office, 300 North Washington Ave., Mason City, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Christmas Cheer Fund requests may also be made at the Globe-Gazette office.

Thank you

A church goer from the start, Volunteering with all his heart.

From ushering, YFC supporter and AWANAS, Working in the nursery, supporting Bill Graham the preacher.

Giving blood, ringing bells, A life of faith, his story tells.

The National Guard he did serve, For that, thanks he does deserve.

Deckers, Blackmores and Lehigh, His work ethics you can’t deny.

59 years he’s been married to Jean, After all these years, on her he’s still keen.

He takes her out for Chinese and steak, Sometimes returning home kinda late.

He hunted pheasants and used to catch fishes, Health and happiness for his family are his wishes.

He enjoys sports and playing cards, Working in his garden, out in the yard.

On the acreage he raised sheep and hogs, Tending to them, followed by his dogs.

In his garden, his green thumb comes to life, In the house, he grows plants with his wife.

Five children – 1 girl and 4 boys, His pick-up trucks are his toys.

Yep, 5 kids, 7 grandkids and even some greats, This is one Grandpa who really rates.

He may be aging and his hair gray, But we wish him love and Happy B’day, anyway.

— From your family

(Never Known to Fail) Oh, Most Beautiful Flower of Mt. Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity.

Oh Star of the Son, help me and show me herein you are my Mother.

Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request).

There are none that can withstand your power.

Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (three times).

Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (three times).

Say this prayer for three consecutive days.
