When you go to an Alger community breakfast you leave with a full belly and a smile on your face.
As you enter the building at 210 N. Main, you are greeted with a hug from 87-year-old Bea Collingsworth. You know you are in for a pleasant time.
This reporter planned to write about a breakfast held in Alger on a monthly basis for the past 10 years, come rain or shine, but ended up with an additional story---that of Bea and her job as "greeter" at the event.

About 100 people showed up during the morning and afternoon to offer support to Amelia and her family, donating over $1,000, canned foods, a handmade biker bear, and more.
When all was said and done, about 25 motorcycles headed out, escorting the family as far as Marysville.
