Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

To the editor: As members of American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees Council 31, Local 1277, we want to thank the
community for their support during our fall fundraiser for bath aide
services for low-income senior citizens.
A check will be presented to the Logan County Health Department
for the "Personal Care Service Program." Funding generated will
allow certified nurse's aides to provide bath services to those who
need, but cannot afford, the necessity. Community donations continue
to be accepted throughout the year for this program.
