Three Reasons Why Lincoln Is My Hero, presented by Friends of the Lincoln Collection of IndianaPresented by the Friends of the Lincoln Collection in Indiana, the first annual Rolland Lecture will be given by James H. Madison, Thomas and Kathryn Miller Professor Emeritus of History, at Indiana University, Bloomington. The lecture is sponsored by the law firm of Barrett & McNagny LLP.
The Rolland Lecture Series was established by Friends of the Lincoln Collection of Indiana in honor of Ian Rolland, Vice President of the organization and Chairman of the Capital Campaign. The Capital Campaign will provide an endowment to care for the Collection.
Tentative plans are to provide a program each spring which will focus on Abraham Lincoln and/or the Civil War. 2010 marked the 150th anniversary of the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln, and 2011-2015 will mark the sesquicentennial of each year of Lincoln’s presidency and the War. Programs will serve as remembrances of these critical years in the history of the United States.

From Tony at the Tecumseh Branch Library:
“We set up our ‘Living Room’ at Tecumseh on Wednesday. Just like home, only better! We scarfed popcorn and chips and kool-aid and colas. Then we fired up the wii, chatted on facebook, rocked some angry birds, made ductape cup holders, and spelled out ‘I’m stuck in the potatoes’ in morse code! Then we made a video about it. Seat save!”
Teens, be at Tecumseh on Wednesdays at 3:30 to find out what happens next….
