March 31 -- Community Health Fair
It's health fair time. The health department is always at the
center of many activities at the fair. The Children's Health Fair is
on March 30. The community fair is the following day, March 31, from
9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"If you think you've seen one health fair, you've seen them all;
that is not the case," Hilliard said, "Every year they get better."
This year will feature a granny basketball game. The granny team
from Iowa will play some Lincoln women.
See details of this year's terrific health fair lineup in LDN
this Friday.
March 31 -- Extravaganza set to help seniors
Cuts in state funding have led a local agency to get creative in
making up for losses. CIEDC has planned a Jimmy Buffet-style
fundraiser, "Cheeseburgers in Paradise," to keep the senior programs
in place. The evening of entertainment and dinner is planned to
begin at 6 on March 31 at the American Legion.
Funds will be used to help bring meals to shut-ins and home-bound
and for those seniors who can get out to the congregate center for
meals. Last month the department provided 1,200 transportations and
3,300 meals to these seniors.
Tickets are on sale now for $25 each or $40 for a couple. To
purchase or reserve tickets, call 217-732-2159.
"Thank you for your support because without this we would not be
staying as strong as we are," director Angie Jenkins said.
