KEEP YOUR DONATIONS LOCAL

Recently some Medicine Lodge residents received solicitations in the mail to make donations to the American Cancer Society. These mailings are legit; however if you make a donation and return it in the envelope they provide, the money will not stay locally. If you wish to make a donation to the American Cancer Society and want to keep your donations local, you can stop in at the following businesses in Medicine Lodge:

Citizens Bank of Kansas

SCTelcom

Simple Simons/Taco Tico

Indian Oil

First Christian Church

If you have any questions you can contact one of the following people on the Relay For Life of Barber County Committee:
