Cancer Association of Darke County held their annual Gourmet Dinner Raffle Fundraiser earlier this year. Mark Davis and Tim McKibben of Eikenberry's IGA  are shown with Julie Graber of the dinner club (that prepares the Cancer Association's Gourmet Dinner.)  Sharon Wilson was this year's winner.  

Eikenberry's once again donated the ingredients for the dinner, which featured beef tenderloin in the entree.  The multi-course meal was prepared by volunteers as usual but delivered and not served this year.  All proceeds, $2,845.00, went to the locally operated and independent Cancer Association of Darke County (CADC).

The Gourmet Dinner Club provides this wonderful service each year by preparing the gourmet meal.  Suzie Brown coordinated the efforts.

The fundraiser is always well received in the community and has good participation.
