If you have a loved one serving overseas, send his or her name,
address and how many are serving in his or her company, and they
will be included.
Lincoln Woman's Club will take the items to the District 17
meeting on Oct. 9 in Bloomington and they will be delivered to
Peoria, where socks will be filled and shipped two weeks before
Thanksgiving.
