Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
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 [Posted
