Congratulations to the Lincoln Logan Crime Stoppers. A check for $25 will be sent to them just for telling us their important information. Don't be left out of winning some cash for your favorite organization, and make sure that your community information makes it to Close Up. It's easy. Just follow the simple steps explained at the end of every Close Up.

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. You can contact Mike at mikefak@lincolndailynews.com.
