smiles often. She loves her community and makes sure the foundation
named for her late husband keeps his legacy of caring alive.
Deb
Gallmeier, a retired nurse, former school board member and First Lady of
Delphos while her husband served as Delphos Mayor, said her husband’s
need to help his fellow man “rubbed off” on her. She now heads the
Michael Gallmeier Foundation, which holds a food distribution every
other month for those living in the Delphos City School District.
Akroydon Primary Academy’s festive fundraiser for Overgate Hospice
On the last day of term Akroydon Primary Academy had a fantastic time taking part in The Overgate Reindeer Run.

Pupils were dressed as reindeer, complete with antlers and red noses, running laps around the school playground to raise much needed funds for Overgate Hospice. Each class participated in turn running throughout their break time.
Using the power of social media, one pupil raised an astonishing £1,010. Being so impressed with her efforts to fundraise, Maisie’s dad posted about the Reindeer Run charity event on his social media accounts, leading to a flood of donations from his network of family and friends.
