Paul Scott comment: Thanks for your work creating a "Get Well" card for the Cho Sun family

For our readers who have asked, I wanted to provide a final report on the community project to support Nika Lee and her Cho Sun family after last month's devastating fire at the restaurant.

The sheets of paper that were circulated in 20 places in the community were signed with the names of well over 600 people.  What an amazing show of support of this family!

A special thanks to Mary Klimesh at Java John's and to the Downtown Decorah Betterment Association for their support!

Thanks also to all of these people, businesses and organizations:
