Bereavement support
group meets Thursday
Abraham Lincoln Memorial
Hospital and Hospice Care of Illinois are offering "Always in Our
Hearts," an adult bereavement support group established to help
individuals cope with the loss of a loved one. This group meets the fourth Thursday of each month at Jefferson Street Christian
Church in Lincoln. The meetings are in Room 114 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Grief and mourning are an
integral part of the healing process for a spouse, family member or
friend after the loss of a loved one. There is never enough time
to prepare for the loss and no one to guide you. It may seem that our
pain will never end. But with support, time to grieve, patience and
effort, there can be acceptance. There are many stages of grief — a
whole mourning process to experience.
Monthly meetings provide
an opportunity for mutual sharing and support. Those who have suffered a
loss have an opportunity to discuss their feelings and the changes the
loss has brought to their lives.
"Always in Our Hearts" is open to any central
Illinois resident dealing with a loss. No reservations are necessary,
and there are no dues or fees. It is not necessary to attend any set
number of meetings. Come as you are, as often as you like — you are
always welcome.

It’s
coming again — the annual library book sale
The Lincoln Public Library
District is gearing up their big annual sale of books. The sale on
Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 24 and 25, coincides with the annual Art and
Balloon Festival. It draws hundreds of book lovers who pore over
thousands of volumes, searching for great finds to quench their literary
thirst.
The preparations and sales are conducted
largely by volunteers who arrange the books on the tables prior to the
sale and help out during the sale. With only a week remaining and much
work still in need of doing, library director Richard Sumrall says, "We
appreciate any volunteer help; if anyone is interested in volunteering,
they can contact me at the library." Call (217) 732-8878 and ask for
him.
Saddle Up volunteers
needed
Volunteers and riders are
needed for United Cerebral Palsy’s therapeutic horseback riding program
for children with special needs. The Saddle Up! program at Cobblestone
Farm in Springfield gives medically fragile kids the opportunity to grow
and develop through fun therapy with horses. The sessions this fall are
open to any child age 5 to 18 with disability living in the UCP
11-county service area.
The program offers
volunteers a variety of positions, from working with riders to
administrative duties. No experience with horses is necessary.
Volunteers must be at least 14 years old or accompanied by a parent.
The horseback program
benefits children with disabilities by strengthening muscles and
improving posture, coordination and joint mobility. The activities also
help children to develop self-esteem, build self-confidence, and improve
their concentration and self-discipline.
A six-week session begins
Aug. 26, and a second series will start Oct. 2. Sessions are every
Monday and Wednesday.
For more information about the program or to
volunteer, contact UCP Land of Lincoln, (217) 525-6522.
Local
historical society wants names of veterans

People are asked to bring or send in the
information to 114 N. Chicago St., Lincoln. The mail deadline for
submitting names is Dec. 31. The society will be publishing a booklet in
2003 with the material gathered.
Get ready for the
sesquicentennials in style
The sesquicentennial
celebrations for Atlanta and Lincoln will be here soon, and you’ll want
to go in style — 1850s style, that is!

woman’s clothing styles of the 1850s, suitable for the upcoming 150th
birthday celebrations, at a free workshop.

Lincoln
• When: Saturday, Sept. 7, 1:30-3:30 p.m.
You can select and
purchase patterns, sign up for dressmaking classes and see possible
fabric selections at the store. (Ask about their sewing and quilting
classes too.)
Bring a friend for the
afternoon of fun and learning. Preregistration is preferred but not
required.
For more information, call Sew Many Friends,
(217) 732-4527.
Help
someone learn to read
Project READ, a volunteer adult literacy
program, will have training sessions for new tutors from 1 to 3 p.m.
Aug. 26-29 at Heartland Community College. Prospective tutors must be
adults with a high school diploma or GED and a desire to help others.
Each volunteer is asked to commit to tutoring in the adult literacy
program for at least a semester. Tutors and students are matched on an
individual basis after initial training is completed. For more
information or to sign up for the four-day training, please contact
Louella Moreland at Heartland Community College, 735-1731.
