North Central NAMA Chapter members gathered Thursday, Dec. 6, to partake in a little holiday cheer and to give back to the community.  About 40 members collected $70 and 50 pounds of non-perishable food items to be donated to Second Harvest Heartland (www.2harvest.org).

“Our goal as a chapter was to double our donations from 2011,” said Teri Otte, chapter president. “Our membership met the challenge and tripled its financial donation.”

Bar games were held and prizes were given to the top three teams.  Taking top prize were Sarah LeBeau, Allison Heilman, Wayne Carlson and Zach DeBlaey, all of Colle+McVoy/Exponent PR.  The second place team was Bill Brozak and Wayne Wenzel, both of Colle+McVoy/Exponent, Jeanne Miller Mansk of J.L. Farmakis, Inc. and Bob Olsen of AgXchanges.  Rounding out the third place team were Teri Otte of Land O’Lakes, Cheri Johnson, Erica Boe and Megan Berg of Weber Shandwick.
