Painting Fundraiser Raises Money for Women's Shelter

October 20, 2016 - After a home was donated, Shelby County Outreach Ministries stepped up to raise money towards repairs and remodeling by selling raffle tickets for an Oil Painting Original by Cynthia Ross Vermie. 

The home was donated with the purpose to create a safe place for battered women and children. While tickets were sold to the community, the painting was kept in the lobby of Farmers State Bank in downtown Center on the square. 

Thursday, October 13th Judy Matthews, Shelby County Outreach Ministries Executive Director Sherry Harding, Peggy Williams, and David Chadwick gathered in the lobby to draw the lucky winner. 

Peggy Williams drew the winning ticket belonging to Nelda Lion of Center.
