In less than a year, Illinois will commemorate the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln, one of Illinois’ favorite sons. February 12, 2009 will mark the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth.
To honor America’s 16th president from Illinois, State Representative Ruth Munson along with representatives of the City of Elgin, School District U-46 and the Gail Borden Library are meeting to carry out a year long celebration of Lincoln that will culminate in a community birthday party in 2009.
Representative Ruth Munson invites you to join the celebration and participate on the committee at one of their regular meetings. Click here for details. |
