LINCOLN — The children from the WWJD Summer Bible Camp of the United Church of Lincoln will be having a bake and lawn sale on Saturday, Aug. 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. next to the Lincoln General Store. All proceeds benefit the John Graham Shelter in Vergennes and an orphanage in Haiti that the church helps sponsor. Stop by and help support the kids in their efforts with this special outreach project.

Early and absentee voting for the Vermont Primary Election has begun. You can request a ballot by filling out the form on the My Voter Page at mvp.vermont.gov or by visiting, calling or emailing the town clerk’s office. Be sure to request a ballot as soon as possible so you have ample time to receive it and get it back to the town clerk’s office before the deadline.
