The future of the Mini Pac is in jeopardy after a crime spree by a group of employees. Court documents say that for more than a month, three women working at the store stole scratch off lottery tickets and kept the winnings. The Schauers estimate they may be out as much as $50,000 because of the crime–insurance only covered $10,000 — this is truly a travesty.
The Mini Pac may be forced to close. The Schauers and their 3 children may lose their home. A few of us from the neighborhood set up this site to aid them in their fundraising efforts. Please click the green button to the left to make a donation.

A big thanks is in order for the KQRS morning show. On January 29th they featured Jeremy and Michelle’s story with some great comments by a friend of the family. They also posted the story on their website.
In ADDITION, they were kind enough to do an on-air interview with Jeremy, and helped to get Louie Anderson on board for a possible fund-raising effort. Thanks, KQ!
More info to come!
