New Holland firemen's breakfast is Sunday, Oct 4. The menu
will include bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and
French toast. All proceeds will go to the New Holland Volunteer
Firemen. The price is a donation. The event will be held at the New
Holland Fire Department between 7 am-noon.
The Logan County CROP Walk will be at Kickapoo Creek Park
on Sunday, Oct. 4, beginning at 1:30 p.m.
This year the funds from the community walk will be combined with
the Lincoln Correctional Center Pre Release Center's CROP Walk,
which was held at the prison last Sunday. The funds generated by
both walks will be shared between the Community Action Food Pantry
and the Lincoln/Logan Food Pantry at the First United Methodist
Church of Lincoln.
Containers will be available on the day of the walk for donations
of food as well as the cash gifts. These too will be shared equally.
Any food item is appreciated, but especially requested are "meal
dishes" -- meals in a can or box; peanut butter; canned vegetables,
all kinds; fruits, all kinds; spaghetti sauce; macaroni and cheese;
pasta; cereals; tuna; jello; puddings; soups; and sauces. Baby food
is always welcome. Garden produce and other perishables can be
shared also.
Registrations for a calligraphy
class are being accepted at Lincoln Park District. This
elegant art of handwriting is being taught by Harry Tibbs. Harry is
a retired graphic artist and an accomplished calligrapher. The
four-session class, one hour each week, will begin Tuesday, Oct. 20,
at 7 p.m. You'll finish just in time to be able to produce your own
beautifully scripted holiday envelopes. This is an art that can be
used many times throughout the year. Preregistration is strongly
recommended so that ample supplies will be available. An
introductory calligraphy pen and paper will be provided.

start at the YMCA Activity Center on Wyatt Avenue at 12:30 p.m.
