						Once 
						again this year, Scott Turner is spearheading a spring 
						clean-up day around the city of Lincoln. This Saturday, 
						April 24, the community is encouraged to come out and 
						pitch in to pick up trash around the town.
 Registration begins at 8 a.m. at Latham Park in Lincoln. 
						Collection teams will go out from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. When 
						the work is done, a free lunch courtesy of Nuthatch Hill 
						BBQ will be provided to all volunteers.
 
 Turner is working with Area Disposal for the collection 
						of the filled bags. The goal for this year is 300 bags 
						collected.
 
 For questions about the collection day, contact Turner 
						at 217-620-4641.
