April 16th is a BIG DAY!
Wed, 04/10/2024 - 12:00am
April 16 is both Good Deeds Day and National Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day, both of which are appropriate for the day after you file your income taxes! Celebrate Good Deeds Day by being kind. Open the door for someone, offer to help someone carry their bags, deliver dinner to a neighbor or volunteer. Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day is a great idea if you were up very late completing your tax return. It would feel wonderful to be relaxed and not worry about what to wear to work. However, we advise you check with your employer just in case he or she isn’t celebrating Good Deeds Day.

Lincoln Center Improvement Committee works to make Lincoln better
Wed, 03/27/2024 - 12:00am
Before Lincoln Center Improvement Committee and before PRIDE, there was a small group of engaged citizens who formed Lincoln Improvement Committee. The group’s main intention was to brainstorm ways to improve the quality of life in Lincoln County. The population had been dwindling each year, young people were moving away, and the overall population was aging. Shortly after, a group of volunteers began helping homeowners clean up their properties. A group consisting of a core of about eight people enlisted the help of the city and volunteers, removing debris from various properties, trimming trees and even razing decrepit properties. The county agreed to reduce landfill fees, the responsibility of the homeowner, in favor of continual clean-up of the community.
