A representative announced during public comment at the Stephenson County Services Committee meeting on Nov. 5 that the Madonna Renewal Center will hold a fundraising benefit on Nov. 15 at the Eagles Club.

The announcement said advance tickets are $12 at Generifics and $15 at the door and that the event will run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., with sandwiches and a silent auction planned. The speaker described the center as serving young women who are pregnant and experiencing homelessness or other difficult circumstances.

No formal county action was taken on the announcement; it was presented as a public comment and fundraising notice.
