Lincoln Jaycees need volunteers and donations for haunted house

[September 09, 2013]  The Lincoln Jaycees need volunteers to help build and run this year's haunted house attraction. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age. Materials (such as paint, nails and tools) and monetary donations are also being sought.

If you are interested in volunteering or sponsoring the haunted house, contact Chrystal at 217-871-0441.

This year's haunted house will open Oct. 11 at the Lincoln Jaycees Center, 325 S. Chicago St. For all the details, visit www.lincolnjaycees.com.

The Lincoln Jaycees Haunted House has been an annual Lincoln tradition for several decades. It is used as a primary fundraiser for other Lincoln Jaycees projects, such as the Senior Feast, Angel Tree and an Easter egg hunt.

The Lincoln Jaycees are a not-for-profit organization serving Lincoln and the surrounding communities. The organization gives young people ages 18-40 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. Membership meetings are at 7:30 p.m. on the third Friday of each month at the Lincoln Jaycees Center, 325 S. Chicago St., and are open to everyone.
