The Healthy Communities Partnership has a vision to help Logan
County become the healthiest community in America. But for that
vision to become a reality, there are many healthy behaviors that
need to be celebrated and promoted.
On Sunday, February 22, the HCP is celebrating substance-free living
with a free bowling party. The
event will be held at Logan Lanes in Lincoln from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Families are encouraged to attend and enjoy
free bowling, free shoe rental and free food.
Local organizations will be on hand to promote substance-free living
and healthy behaviors to support the participants in making healthy
choices for their families. No reservations are necessary.
“Parents have more of an impact on these choices than they give
themselves credit for. Bringing children to events like these and
promoting a substance-free lifestyle makes an impact on decision
making later,” said Angela Stoltzenburg, Healthy Communities
Partnership manager. “Healthy Communities Partnership is proud to
bring this opportunity to Logan County families and we look forward
to a successful event.”
