Siloam Ethiopia To Host Fundraising Banquet By Dayna M. Reidenouer

This is a year of firsts for Siloam Ethiopia, an organization started several years ago by Demeke Getahun and Wegayhu Ketema, a married couple that resides in Elizabethtown. From the beginning, the goal of Siloam Ethiopia has been to open a clinic offering free health care to people who live in poverty in the rural area where Ketema grew up. This year, that goal was reached when the Siloam Ethiopia Medium Clinic opened in Harar in May. The organization’s first fall banquet will also take place this year. The fundraising event has been set for Saturday, Nov. 10, at 5 p.m. at Mountville Mennonite Church, 205 Froelich Ave., Mountville. The doors will open at 4:30 p.m., and appetizers will be available while guests mingle and place bids in the silent

auction. The dinner will be a plated meal, and attendees may choose from a selection of American and Ethiopian entrees when they register at www.siloamethio.org/events. The deadline to make reservations for the banquet is Monday, Nov. 5. A cost has been set to attend the banquet, and an offering will be accepted. There will also be opportunities to sponsor clinic workers or other costs associated with running the clinic. Getahun and Ketema will present an update on the clinic, which they are visiting from Sept. 26 to Thursday, Oct. 18. The couple plans to participate in the dedication ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 13; inventory all of the supplies that have been donated to the clinic; and negotiate laboratory testing services with a local hospital.
