Land of Lincoln United Cerebral Palsy
is hosting a free play group for children with disabilities. The
theme is "Down on the Farm," and the event is from 9 to 11:30 a.m.
Feb. 21 at 101 N. 16th St. in Springfield.
The play group is offered to families of children
up to age 5 who have disabilities. The group is free to
attendees and will include crafts, games, snack, stories and much,
much more. The activities will be adapted

opportunity to learn and participate in peer socialization, parents
stay to observe and discuss child-centered topics.
Space is

Parents and teachers, new website
helps explain terrorism to kids
The Federal
Emergency Management Agency has just posted a section titled
"National Security Emergencies" on "FEMA for Kids." The new section
helps explain terrorism, biological and chemical weapons and how to
prepare for these threats. In light of the newly elevated
threat level, this site is even more important. Go to
http://www.fema.gov/kids/nse/.
Library

Lincoln Public Library began its winter and
spring programming schedule on Feb. 3. The library offers
a story time for preschool-age children on Monday mornings at 10, Monday
evenings at 6 and Tuesday mornings at 10. Also on Tuesday mornings is a
lap-sit story time for infants to 2 years old.![](../images/ads/Tourism%20Bureau/tourism17.jpg)
There are two special book clubs for
children in third grade to sixth grade. The first Tuesday night of
each month at 6 is an American Girl Book Discussion Group. The
second Tuesday night of each month at 6 is a Special Investigators
Book Club. These clubs will meet in February, March and April.
Craft times for children in first grade
to sixth grade have taken on a new look. The library will offer
several craft times each month on the days that school is off or the
children get out early. Please come by the library and pick up a
schedule of these events.
The Student-Saver Homework Center
continues to be open Monday through Thursday from 3:15 to 5 p.m. For

The Habitat for Humanity of
Logan County selection committee has just announced that the

parcel of land for the new home to the local organization. The
groundbreaking and dedication is unscheduled but will occur in

The Logan County Habitat chapter is
celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2003. The anniversary will be
kicked off with the pouring of the foundation for the Hagan house,
which is tentatively scheduled for the later part of March. It is
the seventh house to be built by the local chapter.
Habitat's second annual Snowflake Ball
will be on Feb. 1 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Lincoln. Dinner
will be served at 6 p.m., followed by music by The Nostalgics from 7

People
all across this country and, in fact, around the world, claim roots in
Logan County. They have very interesting stories to tell, and some of them
like to connect with those of us who stayed at home. Logan County Diaspora
publishes the stories of former Logan County residents. With their
permission, we also include their e-mail addresses so that old friends
might be reunited. If you wish to be part of the Logan County
Diaspora, e-mail ldneditor@lincolndailynews.com.

Family
and Friends in the Armed Forces
|
It
is a time like no other. Since Sept. 11, 2001, we are a changed
nation. Individually, our daily sensitivity toward whom and what we have
in our lives has been heightened. We are more conscious and
appreciative, first about those we love and see every day.
Next, we have a newfound appreciation for those who risk their
lives every day as rescue workers and protectors of life and
property in our communities. We also now think more about our
military men and women who are committed to serve and protect
our country. Many are away engaged in battle, some are in
waiting to go, all are ready to lay their lives on the line in
defense of our freedom.
Friends
and relatives serving in the armed forces are listed here so we might all hold them in our thoughts, prayers and well
wishes. If you know of other friends and relatives serving (they
need not be from Logan County),
please send the information to ldneditor@lincolndailynews.com. Along with the name, you are invited to include the branch of
service, current location of service, postal address, e-mail
address and relationship to the person providing the information (optional).
