Help! The Search for Randa Jawhari Continues.
June 28th, 2009Dear Family & Friends,
My family & I have put a hold on asking for financial help for as long as we could. This is so difficult, especially now with the economy the way it is. We have opened the “Randa Jawhari Benefit Fund” at the State Bank. All proceeds will help my family to further help in the search of my sister Randa Jawhari, who as you know has been missing since Feb., 11th, 2009. You can mail a check or money order to:
The State Bank
Attn: Mail Teller
PO Box 725
Fenton, Mi. 48430-0725
(810) 714-3914
(810) 629-3892
You may also make a deposit at any State Bank locations.
Thank you for your continued support, my family and I appreciate all of you that have helped in Randa’s search, brought food, given us a shoulder to lean on and continue to pray for my family. May God’s blessings be upon you. May the peace of God rest upon you and your loved ones.
- Naheda Jawhari

Uncle Ray’s Dairyland Featured on Channel 12!
May 29th, 2009
Uncle Ray's Dairyland
Uncle Ray’s Dairyland of Fenton is named one of the top 10 ice cream places in all of Michigan. See the video clips of the featured segments on ABC local channel 12 where Dave Durant and Todd Durant whip up some interesting flavor combinations for Mark.
http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/video?id=6831643
http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/story?section=news/local&id=6831847
The coffee and doughnut ice cream was a hit! The strawberry and chocolate covered bacon ice cream was an acquired taste. And although a deluxe olive burger from Halo Burger is yummy delicious on it’s own, this was the least favorite of the unique flavor combinations explored by Channel 12 news. The yummiest and most visually appealing, however, must have been the “fried egg on toast” breakfast treat. See for yourself with the video links above.
Uncle Ray’s Dairlyand is slated to produce a 175 foot banana split at Fenton’s 175th birthday celebration later on this summer.
