We have been saddened to hear of the passing of a dear friend and community champion, Lynette Baker. She was known for the way she intentionally impacted every single person in her life, as well as her community at large.

Lynette was scheduled to participate in our upcoming "Jail-A-Thon" fundraiser on Friday, May 15th. Her family has asked that we honor her generous spirit by continuing to accept donations in her memory. A memorial chair will also be placed at the fundraiser site during the time frame that Lynette was scheduled to serve.

Our prayers are with her family and everyone who loved her.

Charges:
-Conspiracy to feed an entire community
-Possession of unmatched dedication
-Aggravated compassion

Threat level: Extremely impactful

Mrs. Hurdle will be held in custody until her bail is met!
