’Tis the Season Luncheon and Card Party Tickets on Sale

[November 19, 2015]  LINCOLN - Tickets are on sale now for ‘Tis the Season Holiday Luncheon and Card Party, a fundraising tradition of the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. The event raises funds for the local Lifeline program. This year, the event will take place at the American Legion on December 7, 2015 at noon. Lunch will be catered by Pat Bay of LincolnLand Catering and the LCHS Madrigal Singers will entertain with live music.

More than 100 women and men attend the luncheon and card party annually. Participants can enjoy lunch, a game of bridge or pinochle, or both.

Lynne Metz, Director of Volunteer and Special Services at ALMH, expressed her gratitude for the support of the Lifeline program.

“We are blessed to have the Auxiliary, which through fundraising efforts and donors has been able to keep Lifeline going over the years,” Metz said. “Lifeline does offer family members a lot of peace of mind for their loved ones who are home by themselves.”

Prime event sponsors include Eaton Corporation, State Bank of Lincoln, and the Dolan Dalpoas family. Table sponsorships include The Blue Dog Inn, Eaton Corporation, First National Bank of Tremont, Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Homes, Lincoln Chrysler Dodge Jeep, ME Realty, MKS Jewelers, Red Oak Financial/Bradley E. Neal, Nobbe Eye Care Center, Deron and Kristi Powell, Timber Creek Village Assisted Living, and The Atlanta National Bank. Additional sponsorships for the event are also available.

Lifeline is an easy-to-use personal response service worn as a pendant or a wristband that ensures assistance and a quick response from emergency services. The service is a vital component to helping more people in our community live independently and safely in their homes. The event profits help fund the purchase of new Lifeline units and replacement batteries. ALMH staff members install, maintain, and educate the user and family members in homes and apartments throughout Logan, DeWitt, and eastern Mason Counties.
