The Logan County Habitat chapter is
celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2003. The anniversary will be

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

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).
