							Controversial issues: 
							
							
							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            |  To the editor: The Lincoln’s 
			Woman’s Club has been part of this project (Operation Santa) for 10 
			years. During the last 12 years over 245,722 sox have been delivered 
			to the troops.
 Members of the LWC made 88 sox, wrote personal messages on 500 
			cards, and collected items to fill the sox and cash for postage. 
			These were taken to Bloomington where volunteers will fill and 
			prepare the sox for shipping before Thanksgiving to ensure delivery 
			before Christmas.
 
 We are very grateful for everyone who brought donations to the 
			Woman’s Club. Corporations, civic-minded groups, Scouts, 4-H, and 
			individuals make this possible.
 
			 
            [to top of second column in this letter] | 
            
			 
            We have letters from the troops and commanding 
			officers expressing gratitude and how receiving the sox helps 
			morale.
 Thanks you for helping send “Christmas Cheer” to those far from home 
			and family.
 
 Happy Holidays!
 Lincoln Woman’s Club
 “Operation Santa”
 Co-Chairmen Sue Beaver and Mary Cooper
