A fundraiser was recently held for a major repair to a fixture in the city of Scranton.

Doug Hawn with the Scranton Alumni Association says their event that was held on September 7th, brought in about $8,000. This was between the meal, various games and raffles that were going on. The funds will go toward an $80,000 roof repair over the gymnasium of the Scranton Community Center. He notes that the flat portion of the roof on the second floor and the city hall roof have already been fixed, now it is the gym roof that needs to be addressed.

He thanks everyone who attended the fundraiser and for the individuals and businesses that donated an item for the event as well. Hawn adds they will accept any donations for the project to be sent to Scranton Alumni Association, P.O. Box 2, Scranton, Iowa 51462.
