Lansingburgh Fundraisers:

One thing is for sure about the Lansingburgh community. Whenever someone is in need of help, people just seem to come together to help them out. There's a couple of fundraisers planned  next weekend, for two long time residents of the 'Burgh,  to do just that.
On Thursday, May 30th, there is a Lasagna Dinner planned for Mike Harrison. Mike suffered two brain aneurysms on April 11th, and then endured more than 9 hours of surgery to save his life. Needless to say, Mike isn't doing to well right now. Having worked with Mike on several projects over the years, I can tell you he's alway's willing to help out with any project that benefits the 'Burgh.  His medical bills are going to be astronomical, so a few of his friends have stepped up to ease the burden. Here's the info you'll need to help Mike.

Another fundraiser will be held the following day to help out another longtime  member of the 'Burgh..

Now Mike could use our help.
