area to contribute its donations to the
Michael J. Fox organization.
The emails and messages I have
received about this event already have
just been amazing,” said Berding,
adding that she hopes the event will
bring those with Parkinson’s together
to support and share with each other.
A man from Georgia contacted Berd-

sibling in Nora Springs so they can
participate in the walk. Several others
have also shared their stories and plan
to attend Saturday.

part of my journey and members of
my church, especially Gail Seebeck,
Sue Hennagir and Mary Jo Koenigs-
berg, have been extremely supportive
and helpful,” added Berding, a mem-

The kitchen will be expanded and
reconfigured for more space and serv-
ing area. New seating will allow up
to 175 students to be served during
two lunch periods. Currently three
periods are needed to accommodate
CLHS students.
