Odebolt web manager retiring, Jeff Raasch is hired

Barb (Girvan) Horak is retiring from being the web manager for odebolt.net after 14 years. Jeff Raasch, formerly from Odebolt, has been hired by the Odebolt City Council to take over the web manager duties. He hopes to have a new odebolt.net website up by March of this year. The odebolt.net@gmail.com email address will stay the same. Horak and her sister, Bonnie(Girvan) Ekse, will be free to concentrate more on the Odebolt History Pages in the future.

Horak said, “I have enjoyed my years of supplying an internet presence for my hometown, and especially coordinating with so many people in Odebolt. But, now is the time for new blood. Jeff will do a great job and will no doubt be asking for some help and input from people in Odebolt. We both thank you in advance for your understanding during this transition.”

Horak and Ekse were awarded the Odebolt Community Service Award in June 2005 for their dedication to odebolt.net. Horak is a 1967 graduate of O-A High School, and Ekse graduated from O-A in1964. Raasch is the son of the late Curt Raasch and Carol Raasch. He is a 2000 O-A graduate.
