Dawn’s Tribute
Join us in a tribute to Dawn Sobeleski for her lifelong service and charitable contributions to our community
Whether she was greeting people in her Sunrise Cafe or serving hundreds of free meals during the Covid epidemic, Dawn always had a friendly smile. Her generous, optimistic spirit will be remembered. In honor of all that she accomplished, there will be a dinner to raise funds for one of her favorite causes, the Fire Companies in Clarks Summit, South Abington, Dalton and Newton-Ransom.
Dawn certainly made a positive difference in our community. We hope to see a large turn-out to continue that positive outlook that she showed each day of her life.
