Congratulations to
the Hartsburg-Emden FFA, the Lincoln FFA and the Senior Beta Club
for getting the job done last week and helping out our local food
pantry. The organizations collected food at the IGA, Kroger and the
Wal-Mart Supercenter, and as you can see, they accomplished their
goal of filling the trailer with food items. In picture, from left to
right, are Kane
Hoerbert, Hartsburg-Emden chapter sentinel; Betsy Pech, Hartsburg-Emden FFA
adviser; and food pantry volunteers Norm Newhouse and Bill Overton.

Lincoln
College Plans Red Cross Blood Drive. Lincoln College is hosting
an American Red Cross blood drive on Monday, April 27, at the
Meyer-Evans Student Center on the campus of Lincoln College.
The blood drive will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
and the last appointment taken will be at 3:45 p.m.
Diane Stephenson, blood drive chair and campus
nurse, hopes to see as many people there as possible. "There is
always a need for blood and I hope to see our students, faculty and
community members participate in this drive. I am thankful for those
who continually give and encourage those who haven't to perhaps
consider giving it a try," said Stephenson.
To set up an appointment or for more information,
call Stephenson at 735-5050, ext. 340.
