Send a link to a friend

[November 29, 2011]  The annual Lincoln Jaycees Angel Tree is under way. The Angel Tree is a project to help the less fortunate children of Logan County. Tags with these children's names are placed on Christmas trees around the county. Employees and customers then pick names from the tree and buy gifts for the children. The Lincoln Jaycees distribute these gifts to the families in time for Christmas.

The public can find the Angel Trees at the following locations: Cracker Barrel, ALMH cafeteria, CEFCU, Hallie's, Blades Hair Salon, Illini Bank, Rusty's Clubhouse and State Bank of Lincoln. Trees are also located at Eaton, Sysco and International Paper for their employees.

Gifts need returned to the businesses by Dec. 10.

The Lincoln Jaycees purchase gifts to go with any tags not picked from the trees. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please send it to: Lincoln Jaycees, PO Box 254, Lincoln, IL 62656.

Gift pickup will be at the Lincoln Jaycees Center, 325 S. Chicago St. Gifts may be picked up there on Dec. 17 between 9 a.m. and noon and between 1 and 4 p.m.
