Lincoln College students help elderly
with leaf raking    

[NOV. 6, 2003]  Lincoln College student groups will help elderly residents of Lincoln by donating time raking leaves this Saturday, Nov. 8, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The leaf-raking event is an annual tradition at Lincoln College and is supported by members of the Lincoln College Student Senate and fellow classmates who are volunteering their time. 

John Stoltzenburg, director of student activities, says it’s a great way for the students to give back to the community. "This project gives our students the chance to help others. It’s a great way for elderly people who need help with their leaves to get some relief, and our students get to carry on a Lincoln College tradition."

Individuals who would like help with raking leaves are asked to call Stoltzenburg at 735-5050, ext. 327 by 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7.  Requests will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
