The
St. John United Church of Christ Youth Group in Lincoln will
honor the veterans of Logan County on Sunday, Nov. 8. This will be
the eighth year the group has invited the veterans currently living
in Logan County, in addition to inviting any veterans they are aware
of who were deployed from Logan County for any war or conflict. This
evening is for veterans and their spouse or guest only and will be
at the American Legion in Lincoln, 1740 Fifth St.

The evening begins with the youth
serving a light meal at 5 o'clock and continues with an evening of
fellowship, door prizes, refreshments and dancing. The variety of
music from 5 to 8 p.m. will be provided by the Don Smith Band this
year. During a special time in the evening the band will play a
tribute to each branch of the U.S. services. The youth sponsors
are Jonathan and Tami Pagel.
The St. John Youth Group invites any veteran who did not get a
personal invitation to let the group know of your service by
calling Tonita Reifsteck, 217-732-9796, or the church, 217-732-6957,
to make a reservation, preferably by Nov. 1.

oranges, grapefruit or a mix is $25 and can be delivered to your
