The Lincoln College Rotaract club became involved with the MS Walk
after learning that the father of a former student, Francine Lazar,
has multiple sclerosis. Lazar's father, Stewart Lazar of Streamwood,
along with the entire Lazar family, means a lot to the Lincoln
College Rotaract, especially since Francine lost her battle to
cancer this year.
The team name this year was "Lazar's Lynx" in order to honor the
entire Lazar family. At the graduation ceremony May 12, the family
will be presented with the degree that their daughter earned.
The group of walkers consisted of Tavish Johnson of Springfield,
ReJeana Beer of Waverly, Sean Higgins of Mount Zion, Amber Lutz of
Melvin, Brittany Burdette of Rantoul, Joe Taylor of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, Justin Hale of Bloomington, Heather Talkington of Hume and
Erin Bergeon of Green Bay, Wis.

"I am very proud of the effort and dedication shown by this group of
students," said Michelle Bauer, club sponsor and Lincoln Rotarian.
"They exemplify the principles of Rotaract and Rotary, not only at
Lincoln College but throughout the community of Lincoln."
