The annual Gladbrook Area Crop Walk was held on October 7. Walkers met at the Gladbrook United Methodist Church and enjoyed a rather misty walk around Gladbrook. Churches involved included Chapel United Methodist Church, Gladbrook United Methodist Church, Salem Church of Lincoln and Peace United Church of Christ. Funds that are collected go to Church World Services. They help people in third world countries get water to their villages, provide seeds and helping to plant gardens and fields. Getting a source of food to these destitute families is vary important. Becky Fish and Kay Lowrey served a hot dog lunch to the walkers. Final total of money collected is not in, but estimates are over $1,000. Walkers pictured in the back row included Linda Goos, Kayla Vavroch, Barb DeWitt, Lisa Reinhard, Rev. Paul Knupp, Scott Vavroch, Rev Mark Keefer, Darrell Paustian and Rev. Gideon Gallo.
