The auto mechanics classes at
LCHS had a car wash Friday to raise funds for St. Jude
Children's Research Hospital. Along with the car wash, a 50-50
drawing and a bake sale were also part of the fundraising efforts. A
car show in the school parking lot attracted local residents and
collectors.
LCHS staff member Julie Trone displayed her 1999 Cobra. She races
the car at tracks around the state, including Chicago and Havana.
She belongs to the Mustang Club of America and the Central Illinois
Mustangers. Through her membership in the organization, she was able
to view the 2010 Mustang in a special presentation prior to its
release to the public.
