Last weekend was the annual Bosch Family Weekend at Cutty’s Resort at the Lakes. The rain did not hamper the festivities and everyone had a great time. On Sunday the town of Sherburn, MN held a benefit in the Sherburn High School for Lori Koerselman. They served pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, juice and coffee to many attendees. After this, a silent auction was held of many wonderful donated items. All money received was given to Lori to help defray expenses involved in travel, etc. as she travels for treatment. Kyle and Lori were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support shown to them, and the time and effort put forth by so many to make this event so special and successful. And they were so thankful for all who attended with hugs, prayers and words of encouragement.
