Just in time for the reopening of the Linden Public Library, Mark Epperson Chapter United States Daughters of 1812 donated a flagpole to the library. City Administrator Bob Swisher provided the American Flag, and Library Director Denise Haas obtained the library flag. In keeping with Flag protocol, the pole is illuminated at night.
The Mark Epperson USD Chapter 1812 awards a certification of appreciation to Connie Davis Stevenson for her correct display and care of the American Flag. Stevenson flies this flag daily in honor of several of her brothers and brothers-in-law.
It has been said that when one door closes, another one opens. For Arthur Kimmel, that door was at the Linden Economic Development Corporation. Starting in October of 2019, Kimmel began as the Executive Assistant at the LEDC with dreams of helping grow Linden.
If you can remember, what were you expecting from this weekend?
Linden Heritage Foundation presented Linden-Kildare Superintendent Keri Winters and Assistant Superintendent Keith Owen with a check for $6000 for “Let LK Shine’. LHF President Jo Anna Duncan says, “We are aware of the impact of closures in our community including the LK schools. However, the staff, students, and families are making amazing efforts to provide educational, nutritional, and emotional support despite the challenges.” The “Let LK Shine” is looking to raise $13,000 for LKCISD for the next school year, which will include money to enhance funds for new playground equipment for the second through fifth-grade campus and a stipend for each teacher for teaching supplies. Winters says if the donation, “we are looking ahead to reopening our schools and are pleased to partner with the Linden Heritage Foundation in “Let LK Shine”.
