Notes from September 26, 2017
    ARIANA, GABI AND MICHAEL FEYGIN: KIDS HELPING FIGHT CANCER
    With speaking and fundraising skills beyond their years, three youngsters told their story of raising money for the Pinky Swear Foundation and other cancer-fighting organizations.
     
    Ariana, Gabi, and Michael Feygin are ages 12, 10, and 6 respectively, but have already devoted more than four years to their cause, proving you are never too young to accomplish great things. They have already raised more than $120,000 since 2013 with such endeavors as carnivals, lemonade stands, and school events.
     
    Ariana, because of the kids’ work, has won a Prudential Spirit of the Year Award and traveled to Washington, D.C. for honors. The 12-year- old has also started a business, Ariana’s Kitchen, and donates a portion of proceeds to charity.
     
    But the Feygins regard themselves as a trio changing one life at a time. Said Michael: “Together we can change the world.”

    HAPPY FINES
    Bev and Brad Aho were happy to report the birth of their granddaughter. Bob Starr attended a U of M charity golf tournament and ran across a student who had a great memory of meeting Irene Kelly. John Crudele had the busy task of attending a class reunion in Ames, speeding to a speaking engagement, and racing back to his reunion. Jon Melander was happy about attending the attendance-record- breaking Johnnies-Tommies football game Saturday and was also happy about the Tommies’ victory: his son plays for St. Thomas.
