At our Supreme Visit in April, we presented Andy Rotter with a HIKE Award. Doc Howe, Eastern MO HIKE Coordinator, invited our HIKE Recipient to join us for the Lincoln-Truman HIKE at the Old Chain of Rock's Bridge. Andy's family had previous plans and could not attend but this didn't stop Andy from showing his appreciation by getting donations. How please we were to received a pledge sheet and $208 in donations. Below is a note from the family:

"Dr. Howe,
I just wanted to send a big Thank You to all of the young girls who put so much work into making a huge difference in a lot of children's lives. Andy has been wonderful thanks to his new hearing aids.

Thank you so much
The Rotter Family

A hope this will help one child in a big way."
