The Abraham Lincoln Healthcare Foundation's Preserve the Mission campaign has received a $200,000 grant from the Woods Foundation, a charitable foundation created by Robert and Joan Woods.  The gift will create the Woods Café at the new hospital, a place where patients, their family, staff and the public can go to enjoy a meal and the view from the café's two full walls of windows.

Saturdays at the Lincoln IGA parking lot mean a chance to buy pork chop or rib-eye sandwiches from local organizations. This Saturday it was the Lincoln Kiwanis who manned the stand. The IGA allows local causes the opportunity each year during seasonal weather to have a fundraiser with all the supplies at the ready from IGA staff.
