There are still additional chances to contribute as the Annual Food-A-Thon Dodgeball Game is this Friday. Doors open at 6 p.m. at Lakeview Middle School, with the game beginning at 6:30 p.m.  The dodgeball competition is between Lincoln, Jefferson, Leesburg and Harrison. The entry fee is canned goods that will go to the food pantry at Combined Community Services.
