Lincoln Headlines ‘Year of the Family’ Luncheon
Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) will be the featured speaker at a charity luncheon to benefit Arkansas military families in need Oct. 19 at the Alltel Ballroom in the Arkansas Union.
The luncheon is a Tenth Anniversary International Year of the Family event sponsored by the School of Human Environmental Sciences.
Dr. Susan Takigiku, assistant professor of human development and family sciences, said the public is invited. Tickets are $20 and may be reserved by contacting Michele Payne at 575-4307 or payne@uark.edu, or online at www.uark.edu/ua/iyf2004/homefront/. Free parking and bus shuttle service directly to the Arkansas Union are available at Baum Stadium, Razorback Road and 15th Street.
Donations will be accepted for the Arkansas Homefront Fund established by the United Way to provide emergency assistance to Arkansas Reserve military personnel and their families impacted by mobilization and deployment, Takigiku said.
The Arkansas Homefront Fund helps military families with expenses such as temporary lodging, rent, utility assistance, vehicle repair or emergency travel due to the death of an immediate family member.
Lincoln made history in November 1998 as the youngest woman ever elected to the Senate. She is the only woman to represent Arkansas in the Senate since Hattie Caraway, who was elected in 1932.
First elected to public office as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992, Lincoln was the first woman to represent Arkansas’ First Congressional District. She is from Helena, where her family has farmed for seven generations. She and Dr. Steve Lincoln have twin sons, Reece and Bennett.
Takigiku is chair of a committee that has organized events at the U of A for observance of the Tenth Anniversary International Year of the Family, which is sponsored by the United Nations. She said the charity luncheon is the final local event in the observance. Other local events included seminars on family issues in the U.S. and other countries.
