Melissa Cleveland, a student at Owen-Withee Junior High, May be getting a very important Christmas gift this year, a new electronically powered wheel chair. Melissa is the daughter of Mrs. Shirley Cleveland.

The “Wheels for Melissa” campaign is being sponsored by the Owen-Withee Recreational Club, and they have already officially started the campaigning to raise $1700 needed for the special wheel chair. They are selling one pound “Oh Henry” candy bars in the schools and in the community.

Anyone in the Owen and Withee area who would like to contribute to the fund are at liberty to do so.
