Two donations go to HERO

American Legion Post 191 Commander Richard Stroner, above left, hands a check for $1,500 to Deb Jaycox, a member of the HERO — Help Entertain and Restore Organization — board Tuesday evening. The donation is from Post 191’s Chili and Cinnamon Roll fundraiser during Christmas in the City. It is intended to help once again restore the historic Webster Theater, which was damaged by smoke and water when fire destroyed the building next door to it on November 29.
HERO members pictured from left, are Jeff Pingel, Kay Ross, Jerry Kloberdanz, Ryan Holberg and Tyler Abens.

At the same meeting Tuesday, Dave Gordon, left, of the Isaac Walton League, presents a $500 check to the HERO board. The local Isaacs voted to give the money to help repair the Webster Theater.
