Lincoln College tradition helps elderly

[OCT. 19, 2004]  Lincoln College student groups will be helping the elderly residents of Lincoln by donating their time in raking leaves on Saturday, Nov. 13, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The leaf-raking event is an annual tradition at Lincoln College and is supported by members of the Lincoln College Student Senate.

The director of student activities, Jeff Nelson, says it's a great way for the students to give back to the community. "This project is a win-win situation for both parties,” he said. “The students who participate get the satisfaction of helping others, and those who need help with their leaves get it."

Those who would like help with raking leaves are encouraged to call Nelson at 735-5050, ext. 315, or John Stoltzenburg at 735-5050, ext. 327. Requests will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
