This third annual event is sponsored by AFSCME Council 31, Local
1277 of the American Federation of State and County Municipal
Employees. This year the council is partnering with the Lincoln
Junior Woman's Club, whose members selected to participate in the
effort as their community improvement project for 2006-2008. The
club will provide additional baked goods for the sale. Members will
be also looking for other ways to become more personally involved
with the program.
Funds raised by the Lincoln Juniors are budgeted annually for
their chosen community project. The members have committed to donate
$200 for the program this year and $200 next year.
Additional funding is also provided by Thrivent Financial for
Lutherans. Each year Thrivent has generously supplied funds toward
this worthwhile cause.
