Special guests:

This is a fundraiser for the Armington Park District gym as there
are many major repairs needed. We feel there is a need for the
community to come together and "help save our gym." We would rather
have a fundraiser than ask for a tax increase. Come and join us and
help support our projects. Come and have a great time with friends.
 Congratulations
to Edgar and Evelyn Logan, who will mark their 60th wedding
anniversary on Friday, May 22. A family dinner at Guzzardo's is
planned to observe the occasion.
Evelyn Sloan and Edgar Logan were married May 22, 1949, in
Lincoln, with the Rev. Earl Hargrove officiating.
They have three children, Lee Logan, Roy Logan and John Logan;
four grandchildren, Sean and Nathaniel Logan and Aaron and Amanda
Entringer; and two great-grandchildren, Tyler and Aaden Entringer.
Both are retired from Christian Homes, where Edgar was
maintenance supervisor and Evelyn was a secretary.

volunteer expenses.
Got a good piece of news, information or
something that we can all brag about? If you do, e-mail Mike and let

happy to donate your winnings to the organization of your choice.
