The
Naomi-Ruth Circle of St. John's Lutheran Church, Hartsburg,
invites women of all ages to their annual Ladies Tea on Sunday, May

their story. Musical selections will be provided by Joye Anderson,

Members
of the Lincoln Community High School Class of 1966 are
invited to a get-together on June 6 at California Bar & Grill, 203
Madigan Drive, Lincoln (west of old Route 66), from 5:30 p.m. to ?
This is not a typical class reunion, just a get-together. That
means there is no registration, no reservations needed and no money
upfront. June 6 will be another International Night buffet at
California Bar & Grill where you can eat Mexican, Italian, German,
Chinese and American. Or you can just order from the menu. It's
Dutch treat, so you make the choice.
Mark the date: Saturday, June 6. Pass the word; no invitations
are being sent out. We look forward to seeing you.

Happy
endings at Humane Society:
Suzzie, our shy 10-year-old cat, has
found a forever home. After perusing the array of felines at the
adopt-a-thon, a young man chose Suzzie, and his parents happily gave
Suzzie to him as a birthday present. The parents are considering
adopting another cat to get the two-for-one special. We will keep
you posted.
A red min mix dog we took from Logan County Animal Control has
found a forever home by being adopted by a lady from Bloomington.
The lady and her daughter live with her parents, so actually, the
whole family is involved in adopting Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea has had so
many changes in her life in a short time that she is perpetually
scared, but the family is a very patient and loving family. Sweet
Pea will be just fine. She already has a cushy bed and a basket, a
dress, a dozen stuffed animals, a new collar and leash, and a
nightlight so she can find her food and water at night. Do you think
she might get a little spoiled?
Got a good piece of news, information or something that we
can all brag about? If you do, e-mail Mike and let us tell everyone
about it. Plus you can win cash. Every submission, whether we use it
or not, will get your name in the "Close Up" grab bag. At the end of
the month we will draw a name and someone will get $25 just for
dropping us an e-mail. If you wish, we will be happy to donate your
winnings to the organization of your choice.
