Our
recipe section, Grab Your Fork, now has an exciting new
addition. Every month we will draw the name of someone who has
submitted a recipe, and that winner can choose from a whole list of
great prizes. If you haven't been to Grab Your Fork in a while, you
need to check out the 200 recipes we already have archived. Every
week this month we will add more prizes to the prize pool, so stop
by often and see what you could win just by joining in the fun. (Click

Congratulations to the Zonta Club of Lincoln. The group
won our June Close Up grab bag drawing, and a check for $25 will be
going out to this club just for sending us their good news. Don't
miss out on the opportunity to let the community know about your
great club or organization's news. And you could win some cash as
well.
Summer is flying by but Lincoln Park District still has
plenty of fun programs to participate in. Monday through Friday,
July 6-10, from 9 to 10:30 a.m., is the time for Crime Scene
Investigators. Mrs. Kitty's cat has been stolen, and as a forensic
scientist you hold the key to discovering the culprit. The class
will get you into the hands-on world of forensics and crime solving
as you build your own CSI Crime Kit. You will evaluate fingerprints
and collect evidence at the scene of the crime. Your well-trained
eye will determine who committed this awful crime. Lead investigator
and crime scene expert is Deputy Richard Montcalm. Rich has been in
law enforcement for 19 years and has also been the chief of police
for the city of Lincoln. Rich has an extensive background in
teaching at the college level as well. Preregistration is
recommended and there is a maximum of 15 detectives.
On Sunday, July 5, Logan Lanes
will have an all-night lock-in for kids age 7-17. There will be
pizza, soda, juice and doughnuts. Besides the bowling -- both
regular and cosmic -- we will have an air hockey tourney and a pool
tourney. There will be contests like limbo, hula hoops and more. The
lock-in starts Sunday night at 11 p.m. and ends Monday morning at 7
a.m. on July 6. Cost is $20 if signed up before July 3 ($25 after
that).

The Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs Task Force of the Healthy
Communities Partnership is sponsoring a free cab ride home in
their "Don't Drink & Drive, Get a Safe Ride" campaign for
July 3, within the Lincoln city limits. Ask your bartender
how to get a free ride. If you don't, you may get a free ride to the
Logan County Jail!
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.
