							Today 
							marks the first day of the John Welsh Memorial 
							Tournament. Lincoln residents can expect 
							approximately 5,000 visitors in town today and 
							Sunday. The tournament is an important fundraiser 
							for the Lincoln Junior High School. In addition, it 
							is a great income opportunity for local motels, 
							restaurants and retailers. Beyond that, it is a 
							wonderful opportunity for us as residents of Lincoln 
							to show visitors our genuine hospitality. If you go 
							out today, please be an ambassador for our city.
