Quilt guild receives grant
for materials
REED CITY — The Crossroads
Quilt Guild of Reed City has
received a $2,000 grant from the
Great Lakes Energy People Fund.
The grant will be used to pur-
chase materials to make quilts
that are donated to the Susan P.
Wheatlake Regional Cancer Cen-
ter under “Patsy Blue’s Quilts to
Comfort.” The program honors
one of the guild’s founding mem-
bers.
Last year the guild donated 60
quilts to patients receiving treat-
ment at the cancer center. With
the grant, the guild hopes to in-
crease that number.
Members of Great Lake Energy
support the People Fund by vol-
untarily rounding up their bills
to the next highest dollar. The
rounded-up difference is distrib-
uted to non-profit organizations
and charitable activities.

Volunteers needed
for Road to Recovery
REED CITY— Road to
Recovery is an American
Cancer Society volunteer-
based program that pro-
vides transportation for
cancer patients to and from
their treatments. Volunteer
drivers transport patients
from their home to cancer
treatment centers, doctor
visits and other cancer-
related appointments.
The American Cancer
Society is working with
Spectrum Health Reed City
Hospital, Susan P. Wheat-
lake Regional Cancer
Center to recruit volunteer
drivers and coordinators
from Osceola and its sur-
rounding counties to help
drive cancer patients to
and from their treatment.
All volunteers’ need is a
few hours during the week
and a desire to make a dif-
ference.
Local community mem-
bers who are interested
in volunteering for the
Road to Recovery program
should contact the Ameri-
can Cancer Society at 1-800-
227-2345.

Reed City’s Kiaunis siblings take Geers Farm race

By Mike Dunn
Special to the Weekly Voice
McBAIN – Abbie Kiaunis
ran Saturday morning in
the annual Farm Country
5K Road Race at Geers
Farm like she was being
chased by a squirrel.
And she was ... sort of.
Kiaunis, who recently
completed her freshman
year at Reed City High
School where she made a
big splash in cross country
and as a distance runner
in track, was the premier
runner of the 2018 Geers
Farm race, easily out-pac-
ing the rest of the field. If
Abbie heard any footsteps
behind her, they belonged
to her 11-year-old younger
brother Anthony, whose
nickname is “Squirrel.”
Abbie and Anthony both
fared well on Saturday,
earning a 1-2 finish in the
5K course that weaves back
and forth in a former cow
pasture on the Geers Farm

ing the finish line in 22:09
and Anthony squirreling
his way to a runner-up fin-
ish in 24:21.
