On October 5, 2007, Arlie Christenson of Lindstrom underwent major brain surgery to remove a tumor. As a result, the doctor told Arlie that it was cancerous and that he would have to go through aggressive radiation and chemotherapy.

It is a day-to-day struggle for Arlie, his wife and their three young children. Arlie has been the sole income provider as a self-employed semi-truck driver. His doctor is uncertain as to when he will be able to return to work.  It's a traumatic and trying time for this young family to withstand alone.

A fund-raiser is set for Jan. 11 at 6 p.m. at Maranatha Assembly of God, 24799 Forest Blvd. Forest Lake.

Doors open at 5 p.m. for Silent Auction preview.

The event includes a Spaghetti Dinner with home-made desserts, a Silent Auction -- over 70 lots -- more than 700 pieces along with free stuff and door prizes, and raffles -- enter for your chance to win great prizes.

Entertainment includes Back to the 50s with Steve Marcio, 2007 winner of "Contest of Kings" including Tommy Marcio.
