Support for LDC

11-27-01

To the editor:

I wanted to express to you my concern for keeping LDC operational.

Lincoln residents must already pay a high amount of the cost for government in high real estate taxes. I am sure we will have to pay more if all these jobs are lost. This is only one aspect of this problem.

What about the feelings of all those people who reside there and will have to be relocated if LDC closes?

There must be a better solution to the problems than just closing the facility.

Sincerely,

Lyle Johnson



Thanks from Logan County Salvation Army

11-26-01

Dear Editor:

On behalf of the Logan County Salvation Army, I would like to express thanks to the volunteers who helped distribute 127 Thanksgiving baskets on Nov. 17, 2001.

Jeff Robinson, from Kingdom Life Worship Center, showed up at 7:30 in the morning on a Saturday, helped get everything ready, than stayed all day and helped carry the food boxes out to the cars!

Peggy Brocaille and Amanda Lawrence from CIEDC helped fill the boxes and made deliveries to those unable to come to the office. Amanda also performed the all-important task of collapsing and discarding the mountain of boxes that the food came in. (I’m sorry about that cardboard frisbee incident!)

Thank you to all of the enthusiastic and hard-working AmeriCorps workers! Without all of this help, I could not have gotten all of those boxes filled and distributed in one day! Thank you!

I would also like to thank Charlie Lee and Bill Campbell at the Lincoln IGA for their generous donations and help with all of the food! Charlie, Bill, Clinton Lee and Corey Sutton delivered the food right to the Salvation Army office and carried it in! Thanks guys, for being so dependable and community-minded!

Because of your giving, 321 individuals in 127 households in Logan County were able to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner that they otherwise would not have had. I pray that God will bless you all!

Sincerely,

Curtis Sutterfield

Service Center Director

Logan County Salvation Army



Request:  What are the pros and cons of living in Lincoln?

To the editor:

I am retired now, and I plan to move to Lincoln.

How do you like living there?

I plan to buy a home and be a foster mom. I am a widow with one daughter 21.

I invite all people of Lincoln to e-mail me and tell me the pros and the cons of living there.
