Pause for just a moment, just a short 30 seconds, and think of how many people you know who have been affected by cancer. I would bet you could think of a handful or more, maybe even yourself. And, in that 30 seconds you could drop your leftover change in one of the green sharing buckets at local counters throughout the county.

The newly organized Linn County Sharing Bucket had their first outreach meeting on Monday, Nov. 26, 2012 at the F & M Building in Mound City.
