Preparations for the 10thAnnual Charity Gala sponsored by Sunflower Diversified Services are in high gear with just a few weeks left before the event. The non-profit agency’s biggest fundraiser of the year is set for Saturday, March 7 at the Great Bend Convention Center. Social hour begins at 5:30 p.m. While Sunflower has received many items for the silent and live auctions, more are needed, said Connie Oetken, director of development.
