[May 14, 2010]  This is another very busy weekend in Logan County, so we recommend all of you go to our community calendar in our Community section and make a list of all the events you will want to make sure you attend this weekend.


The Lincoln Woman's Club will host its annual spring luncheon on Wednesday, May 19, at noon in the Alumni Room of Lincoln College. The program will be presented by the speech team members of Lincoln Community High School. After the meeting, club members will tour the new Lincoln Center at the college.


The Christian Village is inviting the public to a free International Celebration of Seniors this Saturday. Free food, music and prizes will be available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Participants will each be given a special passport that can be stamped at several locations during the celebration. When the passport is completed, it will go into a drawing for gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses.

The Christian Village offers a range of senior living options, including garden homes, senior apartments, assisted living, skilled nursing care, Reclaim Rehabilitation and the Haven Center Memory Care Unit.

The Christian Village is among the 14 senior living communities of Christian Homes, the second-largest not-for-profit long-term health care provider in the U.S., with campuses in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.


The Logan County Genealogical & Historical Society will meet on Monday, May 17, at 6:30 p.m. at 114 N. Chicago St. in Lincoln. Vicki Crane will give a presentation entitled "Dealing with Adversity." The public is invited to attend.

In honor of Logan County veterans, the book "This Is Our Story, Volume 2," a collection of Logan County veterans' stories, is now available for $45. Veterans may purchase the book for $40.

They are located at 114 N. Chicago in downtown Lincoln. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. For more information, please call 217-732-3200.
