For the benefit of Giant City State Park

Les Winkeler reports: A Friends of Giant City group was recently chartered. It took about a year to get it off the ground. The group meets quarterly -- at the Visitor Center, at 5:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of February, May, August and November. For more information, read Les's story, or call Vicki Lang of Makanda, president of the Friends of Giant City board of directors at (618) 549-8390. Donations can be sent to: Friends of Giant City; P.O. Box 131; Makanda, Ill. 62958. Perhaps a user-friendly website would help.
