NEWS IN BRIEF



Writing contest

planned for kids

BLOOMINGTON — The Twin City Teen Council is sponsoring a writing contest for high school students.

Students may choose one of three topics, and entries must be received by Dec. 21.

The topics are “Do video games cause violence?”, “Effects of immigration on America” and “Global warming.”

Call (309) 434-2260 or (309) 454-9540 or visit www.tcteens.org.

Collection effort

to aid Red Cross

BLOOMINGTON — McDonald’s customers will be asked to “fill the hat” today for the American Red Cross of the Heartland, with collections accepted from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at restaurants in Bloomington, Normal and McLean.

Coupons for medium drinks to Value Meals are available for gift amounts.

At the McDonald’s on Hovey and Main streets, Illinois State University coaches and administrators will accept donations from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Bloomington Fire Chief Keith Ranney will be at the Oakland and Veterans Parkway store from 3 to 4:30 p.m.

Participating ISU officials are senior associate athletic director Larry Lyons from 7 to 8 a.m.; athletic director Sheahon Zenger, 8 to 9 a.m.; women’s basketball coach Robin Pingeton, 11 a.m. to noon; and men’s basketball coach Tim Jankovich, noon to 1 p.m.

The Red Cross has run short on its budgeted financial assistance for people affected by disasters throughout the chapter area. Much of the expenses have gone to help families affected by nine fires within a 15-day stretch.

Setting it right



Local

Sponsor — The McLean County Chamber of Commerce is a co-sponsor of the Dec. 15 Christmas for Kids Party for underemployed families that begins at 10 a.m. at Bloomington High School. The chamber was not listed as a sponsor in a story in Wednesday’s Pantagraph.

Money

New restaurant — Matt Potts, chief executive officer and brewmaster at Destihl Restaurant & Brew Works in Normal, grew up in Williamsfield. His hometown was incorrect in a story about the new business in Tuesday’s Pantagraph.
