Send a link to a friend

[November 24, 2009]  The annual Lincoln Jaycees Angel Tree project is now under way to help the less fortunate children of Logan County. Tags with the children's names are placed on Christmas trees around the county. Employees and customers then pick tags from the tree and buy gifts for the children. The Lincoln Jaycees distribute the gifts to the families in December.

HardwareThe public can find the Angel Trees at the following locations: Cracker Barrel, ALMH cafeteria, CEFCU, Logan Lanes, Rusty's Clubhouse & Grill, Hampton Inn, Illini Bank, Hallie's, Sears, Blades Hair Salon, Chad's Blind and three State Bank of Lincoln locations. Trees are also located at Eaton Electrical and Sysco for their employees. Gifts need to be returned to the businesses by Dec. 12.

The Lincoln Jaycees purchase gifts to go with any tags not picked from the trees. If you would like to make a monetary donation, please send it to: Lincoln Jaycees, PO Box 254, Lincoln, IL 62656.

Gift pickup will be at the Lincoln Masonic Center, 2022 N. Kickapoo St. Gifts may be picked up on Dec. 19 between 9 a.m. and noon and 1 to 4 p.m.

The Lincoln Jaycees serve Lincoln and the surrounding communities. The not-for-profit organization gives young people between the ages of 18 and 40 the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service and international connections.
