JOE MESSER

Joe Messer has been an employee at Dairyland Supply for the past 19 years and is currently unable to work because of his condition.  What's even worse, is that his wife April is unable to work regular hours because she is caring for Joe and bringing him to his appointments. As you can imagine, a labor of love, but for both of them, a very trying time.

THE PLAN

Joe is currently undergoing radiation treatments every morning, and undergoing chemotherapy 24/7 for six weeks. After his treatments, he will undergo surgery to remove the tumors. After the tumors are removed, Joe will have 5 more additional weeks of harder chemotherapy. As you can imagine, Joe is a trooper and is fighting hard as he goes through this difficult time.

COME OUT SATURDAY

The benefit for Joe Messer is going to be held this Saturday, May 20th, 2023 at the Sauk Centre Legion. Free will donations will be accepted and will be put toward medical expenses for Joe.  There will also be a bank account set up if you are unable to attend the event.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
