The Hardee's
Hometown Tour made a stop in Lincoln on Wednesday night. The tour is
in the process of visiting 60 Hardee's restaurants in Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee and donating money to
hometown charity groups, organizations and individuals. Customers of
Hardee's at each tour stop, including Lincoln, received prizes, food
samplings and other fun in the sun items.

The Hardee's Hometown Tour is put on by the Hardee's franchisee
group, MJKL Enterprises. The franchisee just acquired the 60 stores
the tour is in the process of visiting. The tour began Aug. 13 in
Centralia and concludes today (Thursday) in Springfield. Along the
way, the eye-catching, decorative tour vehicle made donations to
hometown charities in each location, for a total of approximately
$50,000.
Hardee's decided at their location at 539 Woodlawn Road in
Lincoln to donate $1,000 to the newly formed Lincoln Military
Support Group.
The group, which is not affiliated with the Illinois National
Guard, was the idea of Tomeka Rehmann and Laura Duffer, whose
husbands, James and Jeremy, respectively, will soon be deployed
overseas.

![Furniture](../images/ads/current/jakes_lda080108.png) There is the possibility that upwards of 60 Logan County National
Guard soldiers will be deployed in the next few months.
The young women believe a support group for all family members
whose loved ones are overseas is something worth establishing and
invite everyone who has a loved one deployed in the service to
become involved.
The group will have an organizational meeting Sept. 4 at 7 p.m.
at Jefferson Street Christian Church, Room 302. For more
