Thank you from Jennie Golden

To the editor:

Thank you for the very nice write up about my son James Andrew Golden's graduation from the Navy. I really appreciated how quickly you were able to run it. Thanks to Marti for updating the information. This newspaper is fun to read, and I hope more people take advantage of it. Send in your announcements, a lot of people don't take the Courier, and this may reach them.

Sincerely

Jennie Golden,

Lincoln

 


Readers invited to Harvest of Talents, where millennium quilt will be sold

(Aug. 22 note:  LDN has received a corrected phone number for information about the Harvest of Talents. See letter below.)

Dear Lincoln Daily News staff:

Thank you very much for the lovely article and pictures last week regarding the Harvest of Talents millennium quilt. It is exciting for the H.O.T. quilters to have their special quilt on display to be viewed by thousands during the Illinois State Fair.

As your story stated, the quilt will be sold at auction on Saturday afternoon, October 28th, in the Fellowship Center of Lincoln Christian Church. All monies raised from the sale of this quilt and other quilts plus furniture and many other handcrafted one-of-a-kind items will be channeled through International Disaster Emergency Service to meet hunger needs all around the world.

We invite your readership to join us at the Harvest of Talents on October 28th for a day of wonderful food, fellowship and family fun. Anyone interested may call the office of Lincoln Christian Church, Lincoln, Illinois, @ (217) 732-7618 to obtain more information.

Blessings,

PAT SNYDER, Coordinator 17th Annual Harvest of Talents for World Hunger

P.S. Information is also available at the above phone number concerning the Harvest of Talents Golf Playday scheduled for Sept. 16 at the North Greens in Atlanta.

 


Proud of our flag

To the editor:

My heart skipped a beat,

So I sat down with pen,

"Thanks for flying our flag

On page one, LDN."

--Maxine Seggelke

(Note: This poetic message, sent to the Lincoln Daily News on July 5, refers to the waving flag in the July 4 issue.)
