Ovarian cancer is one of
the top five causes of can-
cer-related deaths in
women each year. The mis-
sion of the NOCC is to
raise awareness and in-
crease education about
ovarian cancer and to im-
prove the survival rate and
quality of life for women
with ovarian cancer.
Participants are re-
minded that there will be
construction in May and
that Grand Avenue will
only have one lane of traf-
fic in that area. Parking
will be available at the Rac-
coon River parking lot or
the softball fields east of
the park.

Norwalk neighbors, take a look at what Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church and
Mt. Calvary Lutheran of Indianola Jr. High yout h groups accomplished. These
sixth through eighth graders came together to enjoy an overnight (Lock-in) get
together at Christ Our Savior's building in Norwalk. Friday evening was fun mak-
ing personal pizzas while blindfolded, playing the bucket game and more. Two
of the youth led an evening wrap up Bible study. An important part of growing
Christian youth is to provide them opportunities to give of themselves. The next
morning several adults joined forces with the youth to do some major cleaning,
including emptying the nursery to prepare it for a face-lift. Even though these
youth got very little sleep, they were eager to get to work. It is so good to see God
at work in our youth. Photo submitted.
It's my day- i

56% of lowans turn
to their newspaper first
for shopping information
(compared to 2% for IV and less
than 1% for radio).
