Local St. Joseph Lions Club members were busy working a brat-sale fundraiser on the morning of Sept. 13. Members Duane Sorensen, Dennis Loecken, Kyle Jensen and Ralph Meyer kidded and joked with each other as they cooked and waited on customers to help raise funds for local charities.

Weather was in the high 50s as they worked their stand set up in front of the St. Joseph Meat Market.

Sorensen said the organization donates a lot of funds to help improve vision and hearing.

Local residents Tim Thomes and Janet Kurtz-Thomes, husband and wife, along with their children Marie Kurtz-Thomes, 15, and Jonathan Girgen-Kurtz, 18, stopped to enjoy some refreshments after dropping off a donation at the St. Joseph Food Shelf.

Janet Kurtz-Thomes said they enjoy coming for brats on Saturdays.

“It reminds me of my mother who used to make sauerkraut,” she said.

Kurtz-Thomes, who operates Janet’s Daycare, said her mother is now deceased. The family was soon joined by Emily and Nick Anderson, who were some of Kurtz-Thomes’ first daycare children.

The St. Joseph Lions was chartered in 1964 when citizens organized the club to help improve the quality of life in St. Joseph. The club celebrated its 50th anniversary last May.
