STEMM BENEFIT THURSDAY

DR. STEVEN MEYER IS PREPARING FOR HIS 28TH TRIP TO THE AFRICAN NATION OF TANZANIA IN JANUARY. THE LOCAL ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON CREATED "STEMM" THE SIOUXLAND TANZANIAN EDUCATION AND MEDICAL MINISTRY 16 YEARS AGO.

DR. MEYER SAYS STEMM'S PRIMARY GOAL IS TO EDUCATE THE CHILDREN OF THE AFRICAN COUNTRY:



THROUGH MEYER'S CHRISTIAN MISSION WORK, STEMM EDUCATES 600 CHILDREN A YEAR. HE ALSO PERFORMS ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY IN TANZANIA AND HAS STARTED AN ORPHANAGE.

STEMM'S SUCCESS WAS SHOWN TO MEYER WHEN A YOUNG WOMAN GREETED HIM LAST YEAR THAT HE HAD TREATED AS A CHILD AND PLACED IN A SCHOOL ON HIS FIRST MISSION TO AFRICA:



STEMM IS HOSTING A FUNDRAISING DINNER AND AUCTION AT 7PM THURSDAY EVENING AT THE MARINA INN. AFRICAN CUSINE WILL BE SERVED AND THERE'S A SILENT AND LIVE AUCTION OF OVER 200 ITEMS.
