We can see the world through the eyes of a child when we look into the eyes of a child. Thanks to Ann Siltman for this wonderful picture of a young girl at the Nate Stuckey benefit on Saturday.  LCHS was busy all Saturday afternoon and evening with activities for the youngsters, bake sales, food and auctions. All events were well attended as the community came out in support of Nate and his family. More pictures of the event are below, as well as pictures of other weekend activities, in another picture-packed Monday edition.
