[July 17, 2009]  The Linpro dancers are pleased to announce the graduation of three area couples into the world of square dancing. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Glick, Mr. and Mrs. Keith Schmidt and Mr. and Mrs. David Last have recently completed a series of classes in Western-style square dancing and will graduate Saturday, July 18, at a special dance to be held at the Lincoln Park District. Past and present square dancers are invited to attend. Ron Betzelberger, the Linpro caller/cuer, will start the round dancing at 7 p.m. and the square dancing at 7:30 p.m. Banana splits and cake will be served.

Holy smokes! It looks like all you readers really want to win $500. We already have hundreds of names in the LDN drawing and there is still plenty of time for all of you to enter.

There are no strings attached and you don't have to pay anything to win. In the event you have an old-fashioned dial-up that is really slow, you can submit your information along with the correct answers via a regular e-mail  mikefak@lincolndailynews.com and we will be sure you are included in the drawing.

Remember, after the drawing the entire list will be deleted. You won't be put on any list nor have your name and number put in some file. We appreciate all of you and won't invade your privacy under any circumstances.


Grab Your Fork has a great drawing too. All you have to do is submit a recipe and your name goes into the pot for a monthly drawing. Every week we add new prizes from which to choose, and this weekend we will be adding more great cookbooks that could be yours free just by sharing a recipe. You can see the list of prizes as well as our collection of over 200 recipes in Grab Your Fork.


We love sharing your good news with the community but we also enjoy sharing pictures. Today we have another rare four-generation picture.

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.
