For the last 12 years the Lincoln Jaycees have
sponsored the
Angel
Tree, a project to help the less fortunate children of Logan
County. Tags with the children's names are placed on Christmas trees
around the county in early November. Employees and customers then
pick a tag from the tree and buy gifts for that person. The Lincoln
Jaycees distribute the gifts to the families in early December.
