Posted: Tue, Sep 7, 2010 10:05 PM

Winneshiek County Celebration of Life is working on plans to raise money and publicize its programs in October.  The organization has paid for over 600 free mammograms in its 11 years of existence.  Volunteer Margaret Walter says the group will hold a fundraiser October 18th at the Elks Club in Decorah.

There will be other events in October as well.  A picture taking of cancer survivors is scheduled for October 15th.  Pink ribbon lights will be put in the front windows of the Winneshiek County Courthouse during the month.  Pink ribbon lights also will go up in communities throughout Winneshiek County.
