Vonda Norcutt wins quilt raffle supporting foster kids

Thanks to a generous community that donated and purchased tickets for the Mary Sauer Memorial “Toy Kloset” quilt raffle. The toy closet, operated by CASA, Fallon’s Court Appointed Special Advocates, assists area children who are in foster care.

The raffle raised funds to provide Christmas gifts to the more than 50 children currently in foster care in Churchill County. According to Carry Thibaut, a long-time CASA volunteer, the raffle raised over $2,000. In addition, Starr Friedenthal and the wonderful ladies of the Hearts of Gold Quilting Club made the raffle prize quilt as well as handmade quilts for each child in the program.

“We are so blessed to have such an amazing community filled with so many giving hearts,” stated Thibaut. “You made it possible for every one of the foster kids in our community to receive an amazing Christmas Gift of their choosing.”

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
