Vonda Norcutt wins quilt raffle supporting foster kids

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.”

Thank you Kelli Kelly.Comment publication date: 3/21/26, 8:12 AMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon ManComment author: Bob SondgrothComment text: There are times when you should just know about someone. Who and what they REALLY were. Because they were devotional and IMPORTANT to the humans they connected with. The content of their life bled so that others could feel their own life’s importance. Teachers of justifiable life and art. That all can absorb and use as the best fertilizer for THEIR lives. Giving the silent secrets and the loud guidance. The Melon Man was a perfect specimen for how to devote. His passing meant a life book of feeling/knowing what gives other humans their paths to Love and Knowledge. Some humans are meant to show others their paths. And in that they secrete ways to profitably exist.Comment publication date: 3/18/26, 4:50 PMComment source: In memorium -- The Melon Man
