Lincoln Jaycees have Angel Tree project under way

[NOV. 14, 2006]  For the last 11 years the Lincoln Jaycees have sponsored the Angel Tree, a project to help the less fortunate children of Logan County. Angel tags with names on them are placed on Christmas trees around the county in early November. Employees and customers then pick angels from the trees and buy gifts for the children named on the tags. The Lincoln Jaycees distribute these gifts to the families in early December.

The public can find the trees at the following locations: CEFCU, Action Rental, Cracker Barrel, ALMH cafeteria, Einstein's Louisiana Coffee House, Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce and State Bank of Lincoln (508 Broadway St. location). An Angel Tree is also located at Eaton Electrical for its employees.

The Lincoln Jaycees purchase gifts for any angel tags not picked from the trees. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please send it to Lincoln Jaycees, P.O. Box 254, Lincoln, IL 62656. Please make a notation that it's for the Angel Tree.

Gift pickup day is Dec. 9, when gifts may be picked up 9 a.m.-noon and 1-4 p.m. at the Masonic Temple, 2022 N. Kickapoo St.
